Hi all, Saw a spot on CNN Headline News tonite. Anesthesiologists were talking about patients needing their caffeine and going thru caffeine withdrawal during surgeries. Anyway, to relate it to bf, the dr. said many are reviewing and revising their recommendations re NPO for surgery, from 8 hrs down to 4 or even 2 hrs. And they could then allow that anxious pt his cup of coffee prior to surg. They were speaking of adult pts, obviously, but maybe this will trickle down and more will allow the little ones their "fix" too. Laurie wheeler Louisiana
