Ultrasound Assessment of Gastric Volume in Diabetic Versus Non-Diabetic Term Pregnant Women Undergoing Cesarean Section

"Women will be requested to fast 2 hours for clear drinks, 6 hours for a light meal, and 8 hours for a meal high in fried or fatty content prior to their next antenatal clinic visit.~On the day of assessment, fasting and dietary compliance will be confirmed individually with each woman and Gastric ultrasonography will be performed after sex and eight hours of fasting food.~Women will be first scanned in a semi-recumbent (45 degrees head up) supine position, followed by a semi-recumbent (45 degrees head up) right lateral position (RLP). In both positions the gastric antrum will be identified in the sagittal plane with its internal anatomical landmarks identified, i.e. the left lobe of the liver anteriorly and the abdominal aorta posteriorly."
