Sip-til-Send: Clear liquids before surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether allowing patients to drink clear fluids (like water or juice) up until surgery starts is safe, instead of fasting for hours. It may help you feel more comfortable before your operation.

This trial tests whether drinking small amounts of clear fluids up until surgery is safe for women having a planned c-section. It uses an ultrasound to check the stomach before the procedure.
This study looks at whether people taking weekly GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Wegovy) should follow standard fasting rules or a 24-hour clear liquid diet before a procedure. The goal is to find the safest way to prepare.
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 tests whether drinking a carbohydrate drink before gastrointestinal surgery is safe and helpful for people with type 2 diabetes. It uses a continuous glucose monitor to track blood sugar levels around surgery.
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 study tests whether drinking only clear liquids before an upper endoscopy can reduce leftover stomach contents in people taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Mounjaro). It may help make the procedure safer.
