SURGERY - WHAT TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY?
|
If local anaesthesia is used, no fasting is required. If general anaesthesia is required, no solids or liquids at least 6 hours before surgery. You may continue to take antihypertensive medication with a sip of water on the morning of surgery but avoid diabetic medication, aspirin, Ticlid or other similar cardiac drugs.
If in doubt, call your doctor. Bowel preparation may be required if your doctor has instructed you.
