Manage episode 375534519 series 2924176

This new paper aimed to evaluate the potential impact of routine pre-operative gastric ultrasound on peri-operative management in a cohort of adult patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery at a single centre.
For this new podcast, Dr Eimear Keane speaks with the authors about how they did it, and the resultant key messages for clinical practice.
