Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Preoperative carbohydrate loading is being introduced as part or ERAS guidelines. The safety of administration of 400 ml liquid on the residual gastric volume is unclear and this limits the use of this strategy among surgical patients. This aims at measurement of the residual gastric volume in patients given the drink versus controls to establish its safety in clinical practice
