The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference of the gastric volume by quantitative measurements of gastric antrum preoperatively and postoperatively by using 5mg famotidine versus placebo as a risk factor of PONV.
Gastric ultrasound examinations will be performed preoperatively and postoperatively on patients undergoing emergency surgery in pediatric. Gastric cross-sectional area (CSA) will be measured, in order to estimate the gastric volume. The data that will be obtained will be used to evaluate a difference of the gastric volume between the two groups preoperatively and postoperatively and the possible relationship between the gastric volume difference and postoperative adverse event (PONV).
