[quote=Anonymous]But if this is the case, why are some hospitals lifting the restrictions on food and drink, and why are research studies showing that restricting food and drink is harmful and doesn't show benefits? I find this all very confusing! [quote=Anonymous]I'm married to an anesthesiologist and the no-foods rule is not a joke. It can be extremely dangerous to perform surgery on someone with a full-stomach (and that's defined as having anything other than water for the last 8 hours). Pregnant women are especially prone to vomiting, and the risk of aspiration (vomit entering the lungs) is high and can be extremely dangerous, even fatal. [/quote][/quote]
