[quote=Anonymous][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] Tell your husband to look at the research on this. the risk of aspiration is the same regardless of whether or not the patient has eaten.[/quote]
