First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study looked at whether not eating before surgery (preoperative fasting) causes low blood volume. Researchers used heart ultrasound to measure blood volume changes in 100 patients scheduled for gynecological or abdominal surgery. The goal was to see if fasting leads to a drop in blood volume, which could affect safety during surgery.
