Million Anesthesia Cases Study on Preoperative Fasting
This study looks at how fasting before anesthesia affects recovery for people having procedures. Researchers want to understand what happens to patients when they have nothing to eat or drink before anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a medical procedure (like a surgery or diagnostic test) that involves anesthesia.
- Your medical records are in the Epic electronic system (a common health record system used by many hospitals).

This study looks at whether fasting before a specific hand surgery done with local numbing medicine (and without a tourniquet) changes patient outcomes. It may help explain how to prepare for this type of procedure and what fasting rules are safest.
This trial tests a program to reduce how long patients must fast before elective surgery. Shorter fasting may make patients more comfortable and could help recovery.
This trial tests whether not eating before a procedure (called preoperative fasting) is better than fasting in ICU patients who are already receiving tube feedings. It aims to find out if skipping the fast can help you without causing extra risks.
This trial looks at whether the length of time you fast (not eating or drinking) before and after surgery affects your risk of becoming confused or disoriented (called delirium). It may help you avoid confusion after surgery by finding a safer fasting routine.
This study looks at whether the length of time you fast before surgery can affect your blood pressure after you are put to sleep. The goal is to help doctors manage blood pressure better during operations.
This study compares two ways of eating before planned (elective) orthopedic surgery: intermittent fasting versus carbohydrate drinks. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better around the time of surgery.
