Patients awaiting surgery are often fasted preoperatively well in excess of the recommended fasting times. Educated perioperative practitioners were asked to discuss preoperative starvation with patients. Preoperative starvation period for clear fluids was significantly reduced from a mean of 8 hours 30 minutes in the original audit, to 6 hours 10 minutes in this study of 113 patients (p < 0.001). Improving patient understanding of preoperative fasting can increase compliance with fasting recommendations.
等待手术的患者术前禁食时间往往远远超过推荐的禁食时长。研究人员邀请了专业的围手术期医护人员与患者讨论术前禁食问题。在本次针对113名患者的研究中，术前清流质禁食期从最初审计中的平均8小时30分钟显著缩短至6小时10分钟（p < 0.001）。提高患者对术前禁食的理解有助于提高其对禁食建议的依从性。
