note = "For mechanically ventilated patients undergoing surgery, interrupting enteral feeding to prevent pulmonary aspiration is common; however, there are no published preoperative fasting guidelines for these patients, resulting in fasting practices that often vary greatly between hospitals. This retrospective study described fasting practices and surgical outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients across five trauma centres.",
