Patients which are admitted to the emergency department with a corresponding history are considered for inclusion. Patient with life-threatening injuries are excluded. After inclusion, the investigators plan to carry out gastric ultrasound (POCUS) all 2 hours until the operative treatment (maximal 5 examinations). To identify factors which may be correlated with delayed gastric emptying several demographic and patient related factors are collected.
