Podcast # 469: Go PO

Author: Dave Rosenberg, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Nothing by mouth (NPO) status routinely used before surgery to reduce the theoretical risk of aspiration
  • However, surgery poses a large physiological stress. Calories and fluid are needed to overcome stresses like these
  • Patients who drank 1/2 strength Gatorade up to 2 hours before surgery did better than those who did not
