About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to detect the predictive accuracy of the gastric POCUS in pediatric trauma patients undergoing urgent and semi urgent operative procedures.
The main question it aims to answer is :
What is the predictive value of the gastric POCUS in pediatric patients? Participants are pediatric patients who will be scheduled for operative procedures within one hour of performing gastric POCUS.

Accuracy of gastric POCUS
We will investigate the diagnostic performance and predictive accuracy of the gastric POCUS in pediatric trauma patients undergoing urgent and semi urgent operative procedures as our primary outcome of interest. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value will be assessed using the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve.
Time frame
1 hour from performing gastric POCUS till performing operative proceduresLocations
