Jeannette Crenshaw with co-author Elizabeth Winslow
This week on Healthstyles, I interview Dr. Jeannette Crenshaw, RN, DNP, about what the evidence suggests is appropriate for pre-operative fasting–what should you not eat or drink and for how long before surgery. Unfortunately, most people are told to fast for much longer periods of time than is necessary, and this can lead to dehydration and other adverse effects. Catch it on wxmrfm.org or wbai.org.

It’s best that we follow our doctor’s advice regarding fasting before surgery. But of course it is perfectly reasonable to ask them about relaxing the fasting requirements. especially if you’re having the surgery in the afternoon which could mean you’ll go without food for more than 12 hours. Thanks for sharing this article.
