Early Oral Fluid Intake in Children After Day Surgery

This study investigates the safety and tolerability of early oral clear fluid intake in children aged 1-8 years undergoing elective outpatient non-gastrointestinal surgeries. Patients will be randomized to receive clear fluids either at 1 hour or 2 hours after general anesthesia. The goal is to determine whether earlier fluid intake increases the risk of postoperative vomiting (POV), or whether it can be safely tolerated in pediatric patients."
