I saw this story several days ago. The solution seems simple. Anyone undergoing a procedure requiring sedation is given detailed instructions by their doctor and procedure clinic well ahead of time. And they have a list of meds the patient takes. So, simply ask them to suspend taking the medication and extend how long ahead of time they need to stop having solid food.
You were over simplifying the issue. That might work for elective procedures that are scheduled way in advance. But it does not work for patients who come in for urgent or emergent procedures.
There is no simple solution here. One person stopped eating 22 hours before surgery and still had food in her stomach. They do not know the “magic number” of hours to fast before surgery now, because of these drugs – which are prevalent. In addition, many surgeries are done on an emergency basis. This is a difficult problem that does not lend itself to a one-size-fits-all solution, unfortunately.
