BevMD hopes to solve those issues with Clearfast, a high-caloric, nutritional pre-op beverage that patients can imbibe up to 2 hours before anesthesia induction (in accordance with the American Society of Anesthesiologists' clear fluid fasting guideline). The drink is packaged in a specific volume that's easily absorbed by the small intestine. It's marketed as an energy-booster that staves off hunger, dehydration and hypoglycemia, while reducing residual gastric volume of acidic fluid. BevMD says patients who consume the drink are more comfortable before surgery, able to recover faster and more satisfied with the overall surgical experience. Labeling on the packaging provides clear instructions for when patients can consume the drink, based on the times of their scheduled procedures. bevmd.com 1 1 4 O U T PAT I E N T S U R G E R Y M A G A Z I N E O N L I N E | O C T O B E R 2013
