Why do you need an empty stomach before surgery? Why do you need infusion after surgery?
1. Preoperative fasting is to avoid anesthesia accidents. For example, reflux or vomiting of stomach contents can easily be inhaled into respiratory tract under anesthesia, leading to aspiration pneumonia and even suffocation and death.

2. It is not infusion after operation, but infusion during the whole operation. First of all, infusion opens the venous access for intravenous administration during anesthesia and surgery; Secondly, fasting before operation will lead to insufficient fluid volume (dehydration), and the influence of anesthesia will easily lead to insufficient blood volume during anesthesia, leading to hypotension. Therefore, it is necessary to change the liquid during the operation.

With regard to postoperative infusion, it is generally required to keep the infusion and return to the ward after operation. The infusion after the ward is based on the operation situation, and the general surgeon will use antibiotics and other drugs at this time.
