About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • relevant traumatic injury

Exclusion criteria

  • life-threatening traumatic injury (immediate treatment is necessary)
  • Underage
  • Known pregnancy

Treatment and study plan

Gastric ultrasound

Diagnostic Test

Serial, gastric sonography

Primary outcomes

  1. Sonographic quality/quantity of the gastric antrum

    Time frame: 2 hour

    Quality of the gastric content (empty, fluid, solid or mixed fluid/solid) and quantity of the gastric content in ml, measured in 2 hour time intervals

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain-scale

    Time frame: 2 hour

    Evaluate pain using the VAS Scale 0-10 (Visual Analog Scale)

  2. Analgetics

    Time frame: 2 hour

    Evaluate need of analgetics

  3. Stress, activation of sympathic nerve system

    Time frame: 2 hour

    Evaluate stress on a VAS 0-10 (Visual Analog Scale)
