One can stand it to see one, two or 20 men die, but to see these poor devils dropping like flies sort of gets on your nerves. “It is only a matter of a few hours then until death comes,” a camp physician wrote. But the speed with which it spread through the camp was not nearly as shocking as the lethality. By the end of the second week of the outbreak, one in five soldiers at the base had come down with the illness. 2006 20:457–469.In September 1918, a flu virus began spreading through Camp Devens, an overcrowded military base just outside Boston. The evidence base behind modern fasting guidelines. Preoperative fasting for adults to prevent perioperative complications. Review: evidence is lacking that adults given fluids 1.5 to 3 hours preoperatively have greater risks of aspiration or regurgitation than those given a standard fast.

Practice guidelines for preoperative fasting and the use of pharmacologic agents to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration: application to healthy patients undergoing elective procedures: an updated report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Preoperative Fasting and the Use of Pharmacologic Agents to Reduce the Risk of Pulmonary Aspiration. These data support recommendations that endoscopic procedures, in accordance with anesthesia and ASGE guidelines, can be safely conducted in the majority of patients within 60 minutes of ingesting liquids.Ĭapsule endoscopy endoscopy esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) fasting time gastric transient time by capsule endoscopy. Patient factors were not associated with longer transit times, and this is the first report to document PillCam times in relation to CKD. Conclusions This analysis of objective data regarding pill endoscopy found that the mean GTT was 44 minutes, and it was < 60 minutes for 85% of the cohort. The patients with the capsule stuck in the stomach did not have any other clinical history to explain this occurrence. Similarly, there was no relation between SBTT and albumin, any CKD, CKD0 versus CKD5, DM status, or BMI. The SBTT results in all patients (n = 124) was 238 + 88 minutes. There were no statistically significant differences in GTT between the following subgroups: CKD0 (n = 100) 40 + 58 versus CKD5 (n = 11) 35 + 39, albumin > 3.0 (n = 123) 37 + 53 versus albumin 30, or aspirin use. The mean GTT for all patients (n = 159) was 35 + 49 with a median of 19 minutes. The mean age was 66 years, 57% were female, and 26% were evaluated for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Four patients were excluded as the pill did not pass out of the stomach. Results One hundred and sixty-three records reviewed. Mean GTT and SBTT are reported in minutes + standard deviation (SD) and times were compared accounting for conditions that could prolong transit, such as diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Past medical history and laboratory data were abstracted from electronic medical records.
Methods This retrospective review obtained data on adult pill endoscopy (PillCam™ SB 3) (Medtronic, Minneapolis MN) studies on in- and outpatients. The objective was to utilize capsule endoscopy data from our center to report the relationship between patient factors that could affect gastric transit time (GTT) and small bowel transit time (SBTT) such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), nutritional status, and obesity. Objectively, documenting gastric transit time via a review of pill endoscopy data could address clinician concerns, prevent delays in patient care, and improve the rate at which our clinicians practice within national guidelines. We have observed the cancellation of endoscopy procedures if liquids were consumed within four, six, or eight hours of the start time. Background Anesthesia guidelines recommend fasting for at least two hours to minimize aspiration risk related to endoscopic procedures, and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) states that the final oral preparation liquid can be administered three to eight hours before the procedure.
