Effects of Prolonged Preoperative Fasting on Blood Glucose Levels in Pediatric Elective Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
The findings of the review revealed the need for standardized outcome definitions and fasting protocols to enable comparisons across future studies. The meta-analysis revealed a variable relationship between fasting duration and hypoglycemia incidence. Structured interventions to facilitate the implementation of guidelines in clinical practice may mitigate the problem.
