Brief Summary: Gastric aspiration represents the third cause of perioperative death in France In scheduled surgery it can be prevented by preoperative fasting The French and American guidelines recommend a fasting of 2 hours for clear liquids and 6 hours for solid food However these durations could be too short in case of delayed gastric emptying due to medications of diabetes for example This latter condition has an increasing incidence Numerous complications are related to chronic hyperglycemia including delayed gastric emptying also known as gastroparesis Around one third of diabetic patients presents this complication

Gastric ultrasound represents a non-invasive method to explore the stomach It allows the qualitative and quantitative evaluations of gastric content

As diabetic patients present a risk of non-empty stomach despite fastinginvestigators decided to conduct a prospective observational study compare the appearance of the stomach assessed by ultrasonography between diabetic and non-diabetic patients before scheduled surgery
Detailed Description: Gastric aspiration represents the third cause of perioperative death in France The physiopathology of this complication is multifactorial implying among other things the lack of respect for the rules of preoperative fasting especially during emergency operations Indeed the presence of food content in the stomach combined with the decrease in the pressure of the lower sphincter of the esophagus and the protection of the upper airways during the induction of general anesthesia is accompanied by a significant increase in the risk of regurgitation and inhalation of gastric contents

There are more than 3 million diabetic patients in France with an increase in prevalence of more than 5 per year The main digestive disorder linked to autonomic neuropathy in the diabetic subject is represented by gastroparesis characterized by a delay in gastric emptying without mechanical impediment associated with signs of abnormal gastric motility Gastroparesis results from an impairment of the neurovegetative regulation of the stomach related to exposure to prolonged hyperglycemia It is estimated that approximately 13 of diabetics are affected

Ultrasound measurement of the antral section area was originally described for the evaluation and study of gastric emptying in obstetrics and medicine Several studies have shown the interest of this measurement for the evaluation of gastric content and volume in the preoperative period The antral ultrasound makes it possible to discriminate a full stomach from an empty stomach with excellent performance Thus investigators have at our disposal a simple and non-invasive tool to evaluate in real time the state of gastric vacuity in patients in the operating room

In practice ultrasound measurement of the antral section area is performed using an ultrasound scanner equipped with a 2-5 MHz frequency probe The diameters longitudinal D1 and anteroposterior D2 of the antrum are measured in the sagittal plane passing through the abdominal aorta and the left lobe of the liver The value of the antral cross-sectional area is given by the formula antral area π x D1 x D2 4 This ultrasound measurement of the antral cross-sectional area is commonly performed in the operating room and is recommended in some anesthesia reference books Several mathematical models have been constructed in adults and children to calculate the volume of gastric contents based on this measurement of anal area with satisfactory accuracy R² 072 to 086 Gastric ultrasound is easily performed at the patients bedside before general or local anesthesia and its use has recently been described to study gastric emptying

Investigators would like to evaluate the gastric content in diabetics in the perioperative period
