A case of suspected non-neurosurgical adult fatal propofol infusion syndrome.

abstract：:Abstention from food and drink prior to anaesthesia remains a cornerstone in safe practice. Despite the lack of scientific support, previous guidelines, similar for fluids and solids, have for more than three decades more often than not recommended "nil by mouth" ("nothing-per-os"; "NPO" in the US) after midnight or a...
