Experimental Treatment
Group I: Pediatric patientsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Novice ultrasonographers will be taught to assess gastric contents with a short and simple educational program. Each novice will assess the gastric contents of 3 pediatric patients undergoing surgery in the preoperative area or the in-patient unit using the clinical algorithm for gastric ultrasound and aspiration risk assessment - giving an antral grade for each subject (a score of 0-2). Each novice ultrasound assessment will be video recorded. In the weeks following this evaluation, expert ultrasonographers will observe each video and give their own scores for each subject using the antral grading system.
Group II: Healthy adult volunteersExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Novice ultrasonographers will be taught to assess gastric contents with a short and simple educational program. Each novice will assess the gastric contents of 3 healthy adult volunteers using the clinical algorithm for gastric ultrasound and aspiration risk assessment - giving an antral grade for each subject (a score of 0-2). Each novice ultrasound assessment will be video recorded. In the weeks following this evaluation, expert ultrasonographers will observe each video and give their own scores for each subject using the antral grading system.
