  • Can you eat before local anesthesia?

    There is no ONE answer to that question. If you are having a procedure in a physician’s office that physician will tell you what he/she prefers. If the procedure is going to be in an “operating room” with an anesthesia provide present, you should follow their “Do not eat” guidelines. Turns out that not all procedures that are schedule for Local anesthesia can be accomplished under the Local anesthesia. The procedure might take longer than anticipated; the physician may have to change the procedure depending on what they see after they start or the patient may not tolerate the procedure under just Local anesthesia (whether from pain/discomfort, claustrophobia from the drapes etc. To go beyond Local the patient should be prepared as if having a general anesthetic and not having eaten. I have been called to a procedure room to assist when a patient was not tolerating the procedure under local and they were not NPO (Nothing by mouth), we had to cancel several of those procedures until another day when the patient had not eaten.
