According to the South Korean "Korean Daily" website reported on March 12, people have long been taboo "can not eat before surgery", is expected to be broken by the Korean medical community. According to the Seoul Pond University Hospital in Seoul on the 12th, the reason for not being able to eat before surgery is to prevent the remaining food in the stomach from flowing back to the trachea during the general anesthesia during surgery. Because food can flow back into the trachea, it can cause aspiration pneumonia. In severe cases, the respiratory tract is damaged and there is a danger of being unable to breathe. Because of the above various risk factors, the medical community has been evading the practice of feeding in advance. The team of Professor Zheng Guihuan, a surgeon at the Pangtang Hospital of Seoul National University in South Korea, conducted a detailed study on the intake of carbohydrates before surgery in order to find out whether there was any possibility of suffocation before taking food. In order to prove the safety of taking carbohydrate drinks before surgery, they carried out the gastric excretion after taking carbohydrate drinks for 10 healthy adult men and women during the period of 6 months from June to December last year. The reaction was followed by a series of experiments. They used PET-CT technology to detect, starting from the intake of carbohydrate drinks, and then continuously taking pictures of the stomach within 30 minutes. After taking the film for 2 hours, the film was taken continuously. The results of the evaluation were obtained by this quantitative method. It shows that 99.6% of the stomach has been discharged. The results of this experiment show that if you eat for two hours before surgery, the possibility of pneumonia caused by the respiratory tract is minimal. In addition, the team conducted a pilot study of 30 pediatric patients and studied their anxiety level (anxiety level). The results showed that reducing their feeling of fasting also slowed their anxiety. . In the future, the research team plans to add a research plan to study the effects of pre-operative intake of carbohydrate beverages on the metabolism and blood glucose regulation of patients, and to verify that the advance diet will help patients recover after surgery. Professor Zheng Guihuan said: "Maximizing the fasting time before surgery can alleviate the anxiety of patients and help to recover more quickly after surgery. It is also a trend in developed countries to make these contributions." There is almost no residue in the back stomach, so proper food intake two hours before surgery will not pose a risk to paralyzed surgery."
