Conclusion: Carbohydrate-rich drink in the form of pulp-free fruit juice may be safely permitted up to 2 h before anesthetic induction, as it promoted gastric emptying in ≈ 72% of children and 28% of children, although GRV was slightly higher at 2 h after fruit juice ingestion than fasting but remained considerably lower than limit of risk stomach.

Kiran Khedkar, Yashwant R Lamture, Sham Lohia, Harshal Atul TayadeJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(2):177-178 In a female neonate with anorectal malformation (ARM), the diagnosis is usually simple. But when there are two openings in the introitus and absent anal opening at the normal site, the scenario poses a diagnostic challenge. Careful and detailed evaluation of anomaly is therefore necessary before planning definitive correction.
