* What is the optimal number of evals for residents and attending to fill out? Would having fewer result in higher quality? How often do residents and attendings look at their medhub evals? Does anyone find them useful? If they are not useful, lets stop doing them, or tweak it (to be less frequent)

* Having anesthesia residents/attendings assigned some complex cases 1 month in advance and then have them do the pre-anesthetic eval and interim optimization for that patient. Perhaps even a post-op follow-up call or visit.

When did the ASA make their guideline for fasting? Which studies were cited? Which studies was the ASA (presumably) aware of? Ultimately, the clinical implications of answering this question would hinge on whether the results would change the ASA guidelines. If new information is unlikely to change guidance, then pursuing this question would be less relevant. Fasting for a few hours post-epidural is very low risk compared to the admittedly rare event of clinically significant aspiration. If you show that epidurals increase gastric emptying that would suggest that they also decrease risk of aspiration. However, if you then let patients with epidurals eat, they have a full stomach and their risk of aspiration is heightened despite any protective effect of an epidural. In other words, the lowest risk category of patients, assuming my hypothesis is true, remains fasted patients with epidurals.

| [https://dx.doi.org/10.1097/ALN.0000000000004133 Chassard et al Anes 2022] || 40 women || Prospective cohort study. Gastric ultrasound (gUS) was used to verify an empty stomach, then participants ate 125 g of yogurt within 5 min. For the epidural group, the meal was consumed within one hour of epidural placement. || 10 parturients with labor epidural were compared with 10 pregnant women at term, 10 non-pregnant women, and 10 parturiants with no labor epidural. Serial gUS was performed at 15, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after a light meal and fraction of gastric emptying was calculated as [Area_Antral_90 / Area_Antral_15 - 1]*100. || Gastric emptying fraction (higher is better) was 52% (non-pregnant), 45% (pregnant), 7% (parturiants w/o epidural), and 31% (parturiants w/ epidural). Parturiants had delayed gastric emptying compared to non-parturiants, and epidural analgesia actually sped up gastric emptying.
