The patient should look for the scheduled arrival time, and when to stop eating solid food. We encourage patients to continue to drink clear liquids as they wish until 2 hours before arriving at the hospital or surgery center.
Does NPO mean no water?
Nothing by mouth is a medical instruction meaning to withhold food and fluids. It is also known as nil per os (npo or NPO), a Latin phrase that translates to English as “nothing through the mouth“.
Can you drink water before an op?
Before surgery, we recommend only still water up to two hours before your procedure. Therefore, if your procedure is planned to take place in the morning, we recommend that you only drink still water up until 7.00am on the day.
