A survey of patients and health care workers was carried out in the university clinic to assess the implementation of the new fasting recommendations.
Abstract
The current guidelines for preoperative fasting have not been widely implemented. Besides a knowledge discrepancy, remarkable concerns remain regarding higher risk for patients which may be important barriers to implementation. Nevertheless, health care workers are aware of patients' desire for shorter preoperative fasting. If the new guidelines are recommended patients will make use of them. Further training of staff and adequate implementation tools are needed.
