Official title
Gastric Point-of-care Sonography with Focus on Gastric Emptying Time in Patients with Traumatic Injuries. a Prospective Observational Study
Overview
The investigators plan to do serial sonographic examinations of the gastric antrum (quantity, quality) to estimate the gastric emptying time and dependant factors after traumatic injurys.
Detailed description
The investigators plan to do serial sonographic examinations of the gastric antrum (quantity, quality) in patients suffering from a relevant traumatic injury. Patients which are admitted to the emergency department with a corresponding history are considered for inclusion. Patient with life-threatening injuries are excluded. After inclusion, the investigators plan to carry out gastric ultrasound (POCUS) all 2 hours until the operative treatment (maximal 5 examinations). To identify factors which may be correlated with delayed gastric emptying several demographic and patient related factors are collected.
Interventions

Serial, gastric sonography
Primary outcome measures
