Bicitra

WHY? That is an awful lot of fluid for an NPO status. I would think anesthesia would have a cow. I wonder what the thought process is for that?

We do not dilute, although I sometimes pour it over ice, I think it is more palatable cold. I tell people to be prepared for the taste, like liquid sweet tarts...

I routinely dilute my bicitra with atleast 500-1000ml of fruit punch flavored gatorade. The patients all love it. Also, you get to see whether or not your assistant really knows how to maintain cricoid pressure (not that I believe all that much in Sellick's maneuver anways).

I know I would and I would probably cancel an election C-section or other elective surgery if it was diluted with that much water/juice.
