Summary

This project tests a new rule that lets patients drink clear liquids until they are called to the operating room, instead of fasting for many hours. Researchers will compare fasting times and outcomes like nausea, lung problems, and delirium before and after the change. About 1,000 adults having elective surgery will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to shorter fasting times, better patient comfort, and fewer complications like nausea or delirium after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center quality improvement project, not a randomized trial. Results may not apply to other hospitals, and the changes may not improve outcomes as hoped.
