Gastric Fluid Volume Change After Oral Rehydration Solution Intake in Morbidly Obese and Normal Controls: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Based Analysis

(Abstracted from Anesth Analg, 124(4):1174–1178, 2017) The purpose of this magnetic resonance imaging–based analysis was to examine the gastric emptying of the oral rehydration solution formulation used commonly in Japan (OS-1) in morbidly obese subjects (body mass index [BMI]>35 kg/m2) after standard overnight fasting compared with nonobese subjects as control subjects.
