The aim of this study is to compare gastric pH right after endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia in patients pretreated with tegoprazan, famotidine, or placebo.
This clinical trial is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, investigator-initiated trial that aims to demonstrate the preventive effect of tegoprazan on preoperative aspiration in patients scheduled to undergo surgery using general anesthesia. Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the tegoprazan administration group (Group T), famotidine administration group (Group F), or placebo administration group (Group C) in the same ratio of 1:1:1.

Gastric pH right after endotracheal intubation
Time frame: right after endotracheal intubation
Change of oral, esophageal and gastric pH
Time frame: oral pH(before anesthesia, endotracheal intubation 30 minutes after surgery started, right after surgery end, extubation, 30minutes after enter the postanesthesia care unit), esophageal and gastric pH(right after intubation)
Gastric volume evaluated by Ultrasound
Time frame: before anesthesia, right after end of surgery, 30 minutes after enter the postanesthesia care unit
Risk of aspiration(pH < 2.5, Gastric volume > 0.4mL/kg) and frequency of complications(aspiration etc.)
Time frame: before anesthesia, right after intubation, 30 minutes after surgery started, right after surgery end, extubation, 30 minutes after enter the postanesthesia care unit
