Sponsor's own description
Women undergoing elective caesarean deliveries are fasted for long periods prior to surgery. Recently, Rotunda Maternity Hospital have started using two fasting protocols at the Rotunda prior to elective caesarean section, one uses carbohydrate drinks, and the other encourages women to sip water until they are called to the operating theatre. The evidence to support the use of either one is very limited. This study would help streamline one of the protocols.
