Abstract
We encountered a case of unanticipated full stomach at anesthesia induction, despite a 12-h fasting period, in a type I diabetes patient with diabetic neuropathy presenting for elective vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The patient had ingested seaweed 24 h prior to the surgery, and it was later found in the aspirated gastric content. Gastrointestinal dysfunction due to diabetic neuropathy and the high fiber content of the ingested seaweed are the probable causes of unanticipated full stomach in our case.Entities:
