Abstract
Pre-anaesthetic starvation protocols have been mainstays of routine surgeries and procedures to prevent vomiting and increased anaesthesia risks, while postoperative starvation has, in the past, been common for gastrointestinal surgery patients. This literature review considers the current guidelines for appropriate starvation periods in the perioperative period and the effect of inadequate nutrition on healing, as well as obstacles to managing a patient's appropriate nutritional status.
