I would still follow all routine stipulations, no eating/drinking after midnight etc. I would also inform anesthesia I hadn't slept. Are there any possible complications?

Answer: Working a night shift before surgery As every surgeon has his/her own instructions around the perioperative period, it would be most appropriate to consult with him/her. In my practice, assuming you are following NPO guidelines, I would not see this as a problem. Good luck!

As every surgeon is unique in their pre operative insturcitions, it is always best to conulst with your opearting surgeon forst in these matters. That being said, as long as your surgeon and anesthesia provider are made aware of this information, and you adhere to the NPO insturctions you were given, there should be no issue with working prior to your surgery.Best regards,Dr. Lane F.
