Ultrasound evaluation of gastric residual volume in fasting end-stage renal failure patients
Authors' conclusion
There is a high incidence of delayed gastric emptying in patients with end-stage renal failure presenting for surgery which may predispose them to risk of pulmonary aspiration perioperatively.
