Gone are the days of a one-size-fits-all approach to NPO recommendations prior to an office-based anesthetic. Recent advances in the literature indicate that prolonged fasting windows can have harmful effects on both adults and children. Additionally, the rise in use of GLP-1 receptor agonists for diabetes, weight loss or any number of forthcoming FDA-approved uses can result in delayed gastric emptying and increased residual gastric contents regardless of the length of the NPO window. This 60-minute webinar will cover NPO recommendations, medication management and anesthesia treatment planning with the intent to safely decrease the risk of regurgitation and aspiration during office-based anesthetic procedures.
