ABSTRACT

Introduction: prolonged fasting before cardiac catheterization remains a routine practice in almost all institutions, despite the lack of solid evidence of its benefits. Objectives: to analyze and issue recommendations based on evidence and international consensus on preoperative fasting in elective cardiac catheterization procedures in adult and pediatric populations. Material and methods: this national consensus used the nominal group technique and Delphi methodology, with participation from organizations such as COMECITE, ANCAM, SOMEEC, and COMEXANE, and a systematic review of the literature in medical databases, including randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses. Results: the consensus established recommendations for adult and pediatric populations, based on current evidence. Conclusions: short or liberalized fasting is safe before cardiac catheterization procedures and is associated with superior patient satisfaction compared with prolonged fasting, without an increase in broncho aspiration-related complications.
