In the 65-study narrative-review evidence base, 32 studies reported at least one indeterminate or non-interpretable examination, 24 reported no or zero such examinations, and nine had unclear or non-numeric reporting. The main reporting concern is that studies often do not clearly identify scans that were not performed, scans that were started but not completed, images that were technically inadequate, results that were uncertain despite visualization, and interpretable diagnostic findings. Clinically, an indeterminate gastric POCUS examination is non-diagnostic and should cause the clinician to either rely on the original aspiration-risk assessment and management plan or choose a more cautious plan when the clinical situation warrants.
