Description
Marta Dias Vaz leads a 2026 guideline protocol from European anesthesia societies on fasting before surgery in adults. Real fasting often runs far longer than rules require, leaving patients thirsty and anxious, so the panel plans evidence-based advice on two questions.
First, should clear fluids be allowed up to two hours, or even closer, before planned anesthesia instead of the usual two-to-four-hour window? Second, should stomach ultrasound be used routinely to check contents before surgery? Planned reviews will weigh benefits, harms, patient values, cost, and fairness using a standard grading method. Anesthetists get a transparent roadmap for rules still in development.
