Black or white coffee before anaesthesia?: A randomised crossover trial

CONCLUSION: The study provides evidence that adding up to 50% full fat milk to coffee leads to no or only a minimal increase of the gastric volume 2 h later. The results support a liberalisation of policy on the addition of milk to hot drinks before planned anaesthesia. TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02361632.
