Brief summary

The goal of this before and after observational study is to evaluate the impact of a global sensitization campaign (targeted on surgeons, anesthetist and patients) about pre-operative fasting in an adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the sensitization campaign reduce fasting time? * Does reduce fasting time increase quality of post-operative recovery? Sensitization campaign will be performed between the before and after phases, it will include: * Planned and repeated mandatory on site lecture about pre-operative guidelines for surgeons, anesthetists and paramedics. * Reminder display in surgical wards and consults. * Individualized fasting cards for patients. * Short message service reminder on pre-operative fasting rules for patients. * Medical fasting prescription with clear fasting times.
