Algorithm linking risk stratification and fasting guidance. Notes: (1) Suggested definitions for moderate obesity are a BMI of 30–39 kg m−2 in adults or from the 85th up to the 95th BMI percentile based on age/sex in a child, and for severe obesity a BMI of 40 kg m−2 or higher in an adult or at the 95th percentile or greater in a child. (2) Includes micrognathia, macroglossia and laryngomalacia. (3) Includes gastroparesis, achalasia, atresia, stricture and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. (4) Includes ileus, pseudo-obstruction, pyloric stenosis and intussusception. (5) Clear liquids are generally considered to include water, fruit juices without pulp, clear tea, black coffee and specially prepared carbohydrate-containing fluids. (6) Fasting intervals are not absolute, with exceptions permissible when the volumes of oral intake are minor, or the fasting time reasonably close.
