Summary

This study will test three different fasting plans in 90 children having groin or genital surgery. One group will follow traditional fasting, another will get a carbohydrate drink two hours before surgery, and a third will be allowed small sips of clear fluids until they go to the operating room. Researchers will measure anxiety levels and use ultrasound to check stomach contents, aiming to find a safer and more comfortable approach.
