what test? Depends on the test, but usually b4 being put to sleep every doctor wants pt npo for precaution of aspiration !
Fasting before paracentesis helps reduce the risk of aspiration in case the patient vomits during the procedure. It also helps obtain a more accurate measurement of ascitic fluid composition.
It depends on the specific lab test being conducted. Some lab tests require fasting (NPO) to obtain accurate results, while others do not. It is best to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding fasting before a lab test to ensure accurate results.
Patients should generally be NPO (nothing by mouth) for at least 6 to 8 hours before an elective cardiac catheterization. This fasting period helps reduce the risk of aspiration and complications during the procedure. However, specific instructions may vary based on the patient's health status and the facility's protocols, so it's essential to follow the doctor's recommendations.
•Pt should follow low residue diet for 1-2 days prior to exam •laxative are rarely needed to avoid risk of dehydration •NPO after midnight •Patients with multiple myeloma, high uric acid levels, or diabetes should be well hydrated before IVP exam --Dehydration leads to increased risk of renal failure
