Study aim
-
Reducing the complications caused by fasting and presenting the non-fasting protocol to doctors in order to perform the angiography procedure as best as possible.
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with a control group, randomized, on 292 patients. The stratified block randomization method will be used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This randomized clinical trial will be performed in Dr. Heshmat Heart Hospital in Rasht during 2023-2024. Participants will be randomly divided into fasting and non-fasting groups.
Demographic information of the patients including age, sex, body mass index, condition of underlying diseases, the use of oral hypoglycemic drugs or injectable insulin, the history of hypoglycemia, the rate of pulmonary aspiration during the procedure, the rate of hypoglycemia in the duration of fasting, gastrointestinal symptoms, vasovagal occurrence during the procedure and when the sheet is removed, the prevalence of hypotension, as well as the patient's satisfaction with the entire procedure will be collected and recorded.
All these outcomes will be evaluated during and immediately after the completion of coronary angiography.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria

-
Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group 146 candidates for elective coronary angiography will not fast before it and are allowed to consume food and liquids in any amount.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Occurrence of pulmonary aspiration during the procedure, occurrence of hypoglycemia during fasting and blood pressure reduction, occurrence of vasovagal during sheet removal.
