True story. Woman for ACDF. When asked if she was npo she initially said yes. After 3 mg versed she stated she had given her BF oral sex 3 hours prior, and swallowed. She explained that they wanted to get one last session in before the procedure since it wouldn’t be possible for a few weeks after. Do you proceed with induction, modify to a RSI, or delay the case?

It's got protein! 6 hours! Just kidding. Proceed. Submit to ASA as a PBLD.

Do the case as normal and go home and tell the story to your significant other and take a slow sip of tea after telling it.

Something that popped in my mind.. If a patient has minimal/none gag reflex baseline :cigar:😉, if they need awake foi, would you skip the lidocaine gargle and go straight to transtracheal injection or just LTA for the cords? :thinking:
