Preoperative fasting is intended to lower the amount of gastric contents in order to decrease the incidence of aspiration associated with endotracheal intubation. However, recent studies show that longer fasting time does not reduce aspiration associated complications. Especially in pediatric patients, long fasting time increases patients' unpleasantness and therefore increases postoperative recovery quality. It also induces hypoglycemia. In many studies, ingesting clear liquids 2 hours up to general anesthesia decreases gastric contents and therefore the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, postoperative nausea and vomiting. Therefore anesthesiologist associations in the US and Europe recommend to drink small amount of clear liquid (water) up to 2 hours before the surgery.
Nuss bar operation, or repair surgery of pectus excavatum is mostly done in pediatric patients. The procedure itself is very painful, requiring paramount amount of analgesics. Use of opioid analgesics increases postoperative nausea and vomiting.
In this study, our aim is to evaluate preoperative fasting time and how preoperative supplement of clear liquid affects the quality of recovery postoperatively.
Exclusion Criteria:
Routine preoperative fasting group undergoes 8 hours of fasting before the operation.
30 pediatric patients drink 3ml/kg 1 hour before the surgery. Although "clear liquid" suggests any drinks that do not contain any solid ingredients, but in this study we define "clear liquid" as water.
Dietary Supplement: New Care No Nil Per Os
Other 30 pediatric patients drink 3ml/kg of carbohydrate containing fluid 1 hour before the surgery. The product name we have is "NoNPO" from NewCare (South Korean company). This fluid does not contain any solid ingredients, so consuming the fluid does not exceed Nil per Os time needed before the surgery.
Dietary Supplement: New Care No Nil Per Os
The product name "NoNPO" is from South Korean company "Well life." It contains carbohydrate and is frequently used in preoperative fasting patients in order to alleviate patients' discomfort resulting from empty stomach and thirst. It is also known to decrease insulin resistant.
Modified-Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale
MyPas scale measures 4 categories: Activity, Vocalizations, Emotional Expressivity and State of Apprent Arousal. Each category has 1 to 4 scales for activity, emotional expresivity and state of apprent arousal, and 1 to 6 for vocalizations, that each describes the child's anxiety status. The observer collects total score ranging from 4 to 18.
Time frame: Preoperatively at the surgery waiting room
Emergence delirium
"Watcha scale" measures child's postoperative delirium at the recovery center. The total score ranges from 0 to 4. 0 is when the child is asleep, 1 is calm and sedated, 2 is when the child is crying but consolable, 3 is when the child is crying and unconsolable, and 4 is when the child is uncontrollable.
Time frame: 5 Minutes postoperatively at postoperative discharge unit

The total score ranges from 0 to 4. 0 is when the child is asleep, 1 is calm and sedated, 2 is when the child is crying but consolable, 3 is when the child is crying and unconsolable, and 4 is when the child is uncontrollable.
Time frame: 10 Minutes postoperatively at postoperative discharge unit

Pain Score
Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability score: This is a measurement for pediatric pain. The observer observes the child's face, legs, activity, cry and consolability. The score ranges from 0 to maximum of 8. 0 is when the child is calm without any pain, and 8 being the most painful expression of the child.
