Summary:After a thorough preoperative examination, airway assessment, written, informed consent, fasting status was confirmed, monitors were applied and intravenous access secured with a 20G cannula. After 3 min of positive pressure ventilation, a 7 mm diameter Portex™ Cuffed endotracheal tube was inserted into the trachea while performing direct laryngoscopy. [3] Valenciaet al. stated that 1 h of gum-chewing had no significant effect on the gastric fluid volume of healthy volunteers, suggesting that it may be safe for healthy subjects to chew gum prior to elective surgery.
