Are patients allowed to eat in your department? Do you field endless phone calls from nurses asking whether a patient is allowed to eat? Have you ever witnessed a confrontation between a nurse and a patient or family member over NPO status? The concept of forcing emergency patients to remain “nil by mouth” on the off chance that they might need surgery or an airway intervention is one of the most nonsensical, evidence-uninformed, harmful myths in modern emergency medicine.
