Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that preoperative fasting does not increase the rate of lowered blood volume (defined by a variation of 15% ΔITV during a leg lift) in patients undergoing surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The presence / absence of a hypovolemia following preoperative fasting1 dayHypovolemia is determined by the % change in the subaortic velocity time integral during a leg lift before and after fasting: a 15% decrease is considered as a presence.
