Is there a general definition what consists a fasted state? The medical literature I have read so far uses the term ambiguously, i.e. from overnight abstinence to 2h of no food intake. Is there a general accepted definition and can this state be objectively measured or is it measured by questionnaire / adherence to protocol?

What do you need the fastet patient for? For anaesthesia, usually at least 6h after a meal and 2h after fluid intake are required. For blood tests, in a hospital you usually do them early in the morning before breakfast (so ~8-12h after the last meal intake).– NarusanJul 2, 2022 at 8:17
