This piece is taken from “The Great Fluid Debate”, it’s about changes in practice that have been implemented both in the UK and at various medical centres in the US. Hear how and why the old ‘nil by mouth’ or ‘NPO’ policy has changed in many instances.
From water to carbohydrate drinks, to black coffee, the thinking has changed in many institutions but part of the battle is in educating patients and their well meaning friends and relatives.
These pieces have been released to coincide with IFAD, the 7th International Fluid Academy Day. Make sure you subscribe to TopMedTalk to ensure you hear some of the pieces we recorded there.
