France364 participantsStarted 2023-02-27
Plain-language summary
The goal of this before and after observational study is to evaluate the impact of a global sensitization campaign (targeted on surgeons, anesthetist and patients) about pre-operative fasting in an adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the sensitization campaign reduce fasting time?
* Does reduce fasting time increase quality of post-operative recovery?
Sensitization campaign will be performed between the before and after phases, it will include:
* Planned and repeated mandatory on site lecture about pre-operative guidelines for surgeons, anesthetists and paramedics.
* Reminder display in surgical wards and consults.
* Individualized fasting cards for patients.
* Short message service reminder on pre-operative fasting rules for patients.
* Medical fasting prescription with clear fasting times.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
