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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
clear apple juice and water
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more comfortable and less stressful fasting guidelines for children before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 children, so results may not apply to all surgeries or hospitals. The study hasn't started yet.
