Read More »Every operation is different. Whether you are allowed to eat or drink beforehand, and what you can have, will depend on the type of operation and anaesthetic you're having. Before you have your operation, the healthcare professionals treating you will: tell you if you can eat or drink before tell you what foods and liquids you can have, if eating and drinking are allowed tell you when to stop eating and drinking, if eating and drinking are allowed Anaesthetic Before having an operation, it's likely that you'll be given either a local or a general anaesthetic. A local anaesthetic numbs the area being treated, so you do not feel any pain. A general anaesthetic makes you unconscious so you cannot feel anything and you're not aware of what's going on during the operation. Eating and drinking before a general anaesthetic Usually, before having a general anaesthetic, you will not be allowed anything to eat or drink. This is because when the anaesthetic is used, your body's reflexes are temporarily stopped. If your stomach has food and drink in it, there's a risk of vomiting or bringing up food into your throat. If this happens, the food could get into your lungs and affect your breathing, as well as causing damage to your lungs. The amount of time you have to go without food or drink (fast) before you have your operation will depend on the type of operation you're having. However, it is usually at least 6 hours for food, and 2 hours for fluids. You'll be told how long you must not eat or drink for before your operation. Chewing gum, including nicotine gum, should be avoided during this fasting period. You may be told to avoid certain types of fluids, such as milk, or tea and coffee with milk added to them, before an operation. If you vomit after having these drinks, the liquid could get into your lungs and damage them. Clear fluids, such as water, are usually recommended. Infants can be given breast milk up to 4 hours before an operation. After that time only clear fluids should be given. Medical conditions If you have a medical condition, such as diabetes, which means you need to eat and drink regularly, you should tell a healthcare professional before your operation. You should also let them know if you're taking any medicines. Local anaesthetic If you're having a local anaesthetic, you should be allowed to eat and drink as normal before your procedure. But this may not be the case if you're having a procedure that involves your digestive system or bladder. Further information: About the NHS: going into hospital

If the person you're caring for is not able to leave their bed to go to the bathroom, they may need to use a bedpan. A bedpan is a container used to collect urine or feces, and it is shaped to fit under a person lying or sitting in bed. Bedpans can be made of plastic or metal, and some can be used with liners to prevent splashing and to make cleaning easier. If you are helping someone with a bedpan, try to be relaxed. Helping with a bedpan can be embarrassing for both of you. This may be especially true if you are caring for someone of the opposite sex. If you are calm and don't seem embarrassed, the person may feel more comfortable.
