“…Randomized controlled trials indicate that the preoperative administration of droperidol [55][56][57] and ondansetron 58 -60 are effective in reducing nausea and vomiting during the period after surgery (Category A2 evidence). The literature does not sufficiently examine the relationship between the preoperative use of antiemetics and the frequency of pulmonary aspiration (Category D evidence).…”

P RACTICE Guidelines are systematically developed recommendations that assist the practitioner and patient in making decisions about health care. These recommendations may be adopted, modified, or rejected according to clinical needs and constraints and are not intended to replace local institutional policies. In addition, Practice Guidelines developed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) are not intended as standards or absolute requirements , and their use cannot guarantee any specific outcome. Practice Guidelines are subject to revision as warranted by the evolution of medical knowledge, technology, and practice. They provide basic recommendations that are supported by a synthesis and analysis of the current literature, expert and practitioner opinion, open forum commentary, and clinical feasibility data. This update includes data published since the Practice Guidelines for Preoperative Fasting and the Use of Pharmacologic Agents to Reduce the Risk of Pulmonary Aspiration were adopted by the ASA in 1998 and published in 1999.* Methodology Definition of Preoperative Fasting and Pulmonary Aspiration For these Guidelines, preoperative fasting is defined as a prescribed period of time before a procedure when patients are not allowed the oral intake of liquids or solids. Perioperative pulmonary aspiration is defined as aspiration of gastric contents occurring after induction of anesthesia, during a procedure, or in the immediate period after surgery. Purposes of the Guidelines The purposes of these Guidelines are to (1) enhance the quality and efficiency of anesthesia care, (2) stimulate evaluation of clinical practices, and (3) reduce the severity of complications related to perioperative pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. Enhancements in the quality and efficiency of anesthesia care include, but are not limited to, the cost-effective use of perioperative preventive medication, increased patient satisfaction, avoidance of delays and cancellations, decreased risk Updated by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Committee on Standards and Practice Parameters, Jeffrey L. Apfelbaum, M.D. (Chair),

Various factors have resulted in an increased demand for relatively minor surgical treatment requiring general anaesthesia to be carried out in the surgery on an outpatient basis. Previous studies have reported significant decreases in oxygen saturation in patients under intravenous sedation and in patients under general anaesthesia. This study examined the levels of oxygen saturations in outpatients undergoing oral surgical procedures under general anaesthesia. The results confirm the value of pulse oximetry and suggest that this mode of monitoring and the administration of supplemental oxygen be routinely utilised during the recovery period.
