Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to compare outcomes between fasting and non-fasting patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, focusing on post-procedural recovery and satisfaction.
- The study included seven trials with 2,835 patients and found that non-fasting patients had significantly higher satisfaction scores, while having similar rates of nausea, hypoglycemia, and other complications compared to fasting patients.
- The conclusion suggested that non-fasting is as safe as fasting and improves patient satisfaction, recommending further research on flexible fasting guidelines for different patient groups.
