Npo before surgery

    • Why are we on NPO before and after surgery?

      You’re on NPO after surgery most likely because your intestines have stopped working on account of being touched by human hands, plus some possible fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. Until they start working again, eating and drinking can lead to bad outcomes. I agree with Dr. Celestino.


    • How long are patients NPO after surgery?

      NPO orders are usually given 6 to 12 hours before surgery and last until the patient is released from the recovery room. However, they can last for more days if you take proper medications or oral post-meds. Food NPO intervals are typically longer than liquid NPO intervals.


    • Should you stop anticoagulants before surgery?

      For DVT that are 1-3 months old anticoagulation can be stopped before surgery but bridging is required after surgery because of the pro-coagulant impact of surgery. If there is risk of re-bleeding, but anticoagulation needs to be started, then unfractionated heparin is safe, as it has a short half-life.
