About this episode
Author: Dave Rosenberg, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Nothing by mouth (NPO) status routinely used before surgery to reduce the theoretical risk of aspiration
- However, surgery poses a large physiological stress. Calories and fluid are needed to overcome stresses like these
- Patients who drank 1/2 strength Gatorade up to 2 hours before surgery did better than those who did not
