A Multicentre Preoperative Fasting Audit

Sweden307,162 participantsStarted 2023-01-02

Plain-language summary

The new European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) preoperative fasting guideline recommends a one hour minimum fasting time for clear fluids. This represents a major change in the practice of pediatric anaesthesia. During the transition to shorter fasting times on a global scale, we need a large multicenter audit to monitor the incidence of pulmonary aspiration.
