A Comparison of Lansoprazole, Omeprazole, and Ranitidine for Reducing Preoperative Gastric Secretion in Adult Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery

---

Acid aspiration syndrome at induction of anesthesia is still a potentially life-threatening complication (1). Its severity is a function of both the pH and the volume of the gastric juice aspirated. Many pharmacological attempts, including the use of H2 blockers (2), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) (3), and antacids (2), have been made to eliminate the risk of pulmonary aspiration by decreasing acidity and volume of the gastric fluid.
