- Abstract
A recent British audit showed that patients undergoing emergency surgery are more likely to fast for longer periods of time (more than 12 h for clear fluids, and 24 h for food) compared with elective patients.[11] Whilst we have shown the majority of doctors understand the importance of nutrition optimisation, they may not be equipped with the knowledge of when and how to do so. "Food for thought": the importance of nutrition to patient care and the role of the junior doctor.
