Patients should be NPO for 8 hours before surgery. If they are going to operate on their bowels, they will undergo bowel prep the previous day. They'll need an IV Fluid to keep them well hydrated while NPO(Nothing per orem). It's also nice if they can take a bath with an antiseptic cleanser the night before. Patient should also remove his/her dentures and also all the metals in his/her body.
