NPO Before Sedation

Investigation on the Safety of 4-1 Hour Fasting Policy Before Sedation in Children.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Apr 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Pre-procedural fasting is routinely conducted to prevent pulmonary aspiration regarding sedation or anesthesia. However, prolonged fasting cause hypoglycemia, dehydration, nausea, and patient discomfort. Moreover, because children have small reserved energy, prolonged fasting need to be prohibited. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of new fasting policy allowing water until 1 hour before sedation compared to the standard fasting time (4 hours of fasting including water).
