Relationship Between Preoperative Time of Fasting and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
The study, conducted in Turkey, explored preoperative fasting in children and post operative complications. The design was prospective, comparative and descriptive. Children (n=82) between 7 and 18 who underwent general anesthesia and who, along with their parents, consented/assented, were included.

For those interested in surgical intervention, patients are lucky to have this option, although not all babies are candidates for this surgery. Survival rates must remain only a part of the conversation, as there are significant lifelong medical needs/risks for these babies, including neurologic and developmental disabilities. Medical factors are only part of the story. The out-of-pocket costs for t...
