The restrictions for solids include soups, yoghurt, sour milk or milk-containing drinks. 1 In a normal situation, the gastric emptying of fluids is influenced by the pressure gradient between the stomach and the duodenum, and the volume, caloric density, pH and osmolality of the gastric fluid20,21. Based on the available literature, our Task Force has produced new consensus-based Scandinavian guidelines for pre-operative fasting. Importantly, this does not apply to milk, any other fat-containing fluids, or solids. Gastric emptying is delayed at 8-12 weeks gestation. Gastric emptying of solid food starts approximately 1 h after a meal. Because worse outcomes may be associated with aspiration of particulate matter, acidic contents, or large volumes of any gastric content, guidelines aim to eliminate particulate matter and decrease the volume and acidity of these contents at the time of induction of anesthesia [ 3 ]. Preoperative fasting guidelines: an update Anesthesiology societies have issued various guidelines on preoperative fasting since 1990, not only to decrease the incidence of lung aspiration and anesthetic morbidity, but also to increase patient comfort prior to anesthesia. It includes but is not limited to a series of recommendations for: Peri-operative management of the morbidly obese patient (2007), Obstetric anaesthesia services 2nd edition (2005), Peri-operative fasting in adults and children (guidelines from the European Society of Anaesthesiology), 2019 The Association of Anaesthetists. [Links], 25. McIntyre JW. de Die properative Nahrungskarenz wird von den Kliniken unterschiedlich gehandhabt. It is important to differentiate between what happens when airway manipulation during a light stage of anaesthesia induces active vomiting or gastro-oesophageal reflux episodes independently of the volume of gastric content, and the situation with a distended stomach pouch and anaesthesia that causes the oesophageal sphincters to relax and passive flow (regurgitation) of gastric content into the upper airways and pulmonary aspiration2. [6] Clinical studies show that 40-80% of fasting patients fall into that category, [7] yet the incidence of pulmonary aspiration is 1 in 10,000. Recently, the concept of pre-operative oral nutrition using a special carbohydrate-rich beverage has also gained support and been shown not to increase gastric fluid volume or acidity. Hence, according to the evidence-based medicine classification 45, the present scientific evidence allows a Level 1 recommendation for more liberal fasting routines for clear fluids. Preoperative preparation and premedication. These outliers probably represent patients with an undetected gastric disorder such as functional dyspepsia34-36. Obese patients seem to have a similar gastric emptying to nonobese patients, and pre-operative fluid intake does not increase gastric content37. [Links], 3. Scott AM, Kellow JE, Shuter B, Nolan JM, Hoschl R, Jones MP. 1 Yet, in the intervening years, fasting times have increased in the belief that this may reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. PMCID: PMC3207537 PMID: 16630428 [Indexed for MEDLINE] Publication Types: Comment; Letter; MeSH terms. Most investigations have been carried out in diabetes mellitus where the gastric slowing is due to polyneuropathy in the innervations of the gastrointestinal system with advanced disease. Maltby JR, Pytka S, Watson NC, Cowan RA, Fick GH. Smoking and preoperative fasting - are there evidence-based guidelines? 3. : The Time to Act Is NOW Anesth Analg. In patients with systemic disease, the extent of gastric slowing may be highly variable depending on the severity of the disease20,27. National and anaesthesia society guideline. In general, clear fluids are allowed up to 2 h before anaesthesia, and light meals up to 6 h. The same recommendations apply for children and pregnant women not in labour. 2017 Apr;124(4):1041-1043. doi: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000001964. [Links], 32. Numerous controlled studies and meta-analysis have concluded that in otherwise healthy adults scheduled for elective surgery, oral intake of water and other clear fluids (tea, coffee, soda water, apple and pulp-free orange juice) up to 2 h before induction of anaesthesia does not increase gastric fluid volume or acidity9-11,15,44. Preoperative fasting reduces the risk of pulmonary aspiration by allowing time for gastric emptying. [Links], 29. 2. Children should be fasted for the minimum time possible.

Patients should have preoperative ECG before undergoing a high-risk procedure. Anaesthesist 2003; 52: 1039-45. However, there is no clear evidence of slower gastric emptying or greater residual gastric volumes in these patients16,17. This article will review the historical context within which preoperative fasting guidelines have evolved, the physiology of gastric emptying, and the emerging evidence for liberalizing preoperative fasting regimens in children undergoing elective surgery.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 1996; 40: 549- 53. American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Preoperative Fasting. Metoclopramide may improve gastric emptying in these patients but cannot assure emptying of the stomach content24,40. These Guidelines focus on preoperative fasting recom- mendations, as well as recommendations regarding the administration of pharmacologic agents to modify the volume and acidity of gastric contents during procedures in which upper airway protective reflexes may be im- paired.

From a patient safety point of view, it is important to notice that intake of up to 400 ml of the beverage does not produce negative effects on the gastric content compared with a similar intake of water16,24. An update. Maltby JR, Koehli N, Ewen A, Shaffer EA. A carbohydrate-rich (12.5%) clear beverage containing mainly polymers of carbohydrates to minimize the osmotic load and thus reduce the gastric emptying time has been tested 23. This guideline is noncontroversial and valid both for children>1 years, adults and pregnant women not in labour. Can J Anaesth 1988; 35: 562-6. [Links], 50. the proximal and the distal part 20.

Stanghellini V, Tosetti C,Horowitz M, De Giorgio R, Barbara G, Cogliandro R et al. Preoperative oral fluids: is a five-hour fast justified prior to elective surgery? The proximal part consists of the fundus, cardia and the upper part of the corpus, and acts as a reservoir for ingested food regulating the intragastric pressure (adaptive relaxation) and the speed of gastric emptying. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2003;(4). We will focus on the development and experience with the new and more liberal clinical practice guidelines, but also present still controversial areas worth further research. Your anesthesiologist may modify the type of anesthesia to mitigate your risk.

Gastric emptying times for solids are delayed in smokers, but not with nicotine patch use28,29. 8 Surveys have shown that only a few hospitals still keep their patients NPO after midnight, but any culture change in medicine is a slow process. We concluded that based on the current knowledge, a general recommendation of 2-h fasting for clear fluids and 6 h for solids in otherwise healthy elective patient is appropriate (Table 1).

Longer fasting can also lead to hypotension on induction of anaesthesia, and evidence of a catabolic state 46. The American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines for preoperative fasting state that it is appropriate to fast from intake of clear liquids at least 2 hours before elective procedures requiring anesthesia. In otherwise healthy patients, gastric fluid content is not increased in the immediate pre-operative period despite the theoretical negative impact of anxiety on gastric emptying22, 23. [Links], 8. [Links], 35. Guidelines for Preoperative Fasting and the Use of Pharma-cologic Agents to Reduce the Risk of Pulmonary Aspiration were adopted by the ASA in 1998 and published in 1999. For passive regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration to occur during anaesthesia, a certain gastric volume needs to be present. The anaesthetist is probably as an important factor as the gastric content. Anesthesiology societies have issued various guidelines on preoperative fasting since 1990, not only to decrease the incidence of lung aspiration and anesthetic morbidity, but also to increase patient comfort prior to anesthesia. Prior to . Aspiration during anaesthesia: a review of 133 cases from the Australian Anaesthesia Incident Monitoring Study (AIMS). Gastroenterol Clin North Am 1989; 18: 359-73. Prolonged preoperative fasting that exceeds guidelines by more than 2 h causes hunger, discomfort, headache, dehydration, and hypoglycemia. The contractions of the distal part of the ventricle mix the larger solid food particles with gastric fluid. The delayed gastric emptying in emergency cases may be due to both the effect of pain per se, the opioids given or gastrointestinal obstruction2, 24. The objective is to minimize the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, but also to prevent unnecessarily long fasting intervals. The effect of oral fluid intake on peri-operative urine output should also be included in future studies42. [Links], 6.

Gastric emptying of human milk in mature neonates and infants is not complete after 2 h and at least 3 h seems to be required26 The optimal fasting period for human milk has not been established but it is more than 2 h and less than 5 h. Pre-mature babies have a somewhat slower rate of gastric emptying, and cows milk empties slower than human milk26. CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS AND TOPICS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH, Patient groups exempt from the liberal fasting guidelines. We need more data on the actual practice and possible adverse effects in Scandinavian maternity systems before we can move forward on this topic. Anaesthesia 1999; 54: 1017-9. Anesthesia 2001; 56: 638-42. Gastric emptying is slower in females than in males and slower in the elderly. [Links], 28. Evidence-Based Medicine. Studies have indicated that the availability of carbohydrates and the metabolic setting of the fed state are important factors which improve postoperative recovery16. Preoperative fasting times allow for gastric emptying and reduction of aspiration risk. Influences of narcotic-atropine premedication, oral fluid, and ranitidine. Anaesthesiol Reanim 2003; 28: 88-96. Chewing gum and tobacco use both increase gastric content, but to what extent the increase is of any clinical significance is very uncertain30. Anesthesiology. Sedation and analgesics tend to impair airway reflexes in proportion to the degree of sedation/analgesia achieved51,52. When it comes to choice of anaesthestic technique, patients with a known hiatus hernia have a greater risk of regurgitation and should be handled as at risk of regurgitation. Petring OU, Blake DW.

A trade-off that midwives and obstetricians may accept is to allow fluids but no solids during labour. Brock-Utne JG, Moshal MG, Downing JW, Spitaels JM, Stiebel R. Fasting Volume and acidity of stomach contents associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. It seems like the key points are to make the ophthalmologists aware of the potential danger of heavy sedation and non-fasting and to make local guidelines that take into account the type of surgery, type of local and regional anaesthesia, the need for sedation and the possibility of having to convert a failed regional anaesthetic to a general one. Probably, a 2-h fasting period for clear fluids is also enough in patients with systemic diseases. 11 Unsurprisingly this causes confusion, not only for the patient, but also the clinical staff, who 12 often opt for a better safe than sorry strategy.
