This article corrects the Guidelines by Green SM, Leroy PL, Roback MG, Irwin MG, Andolfatto G, Babl FE, Barbi E, Costa LR, Absalom A, Carlson DW, Krauss BS, Roelofse J, Yuen VM, Alcaino E, Costa PS, Mason KP on behalf of the International Committee for the Advancement of Procedural Sedation, ‘An international multidisciplinary consensus statement on fasting before procedural sedation in adults and children’ [1].
The authors thank a careful reader who identified that a study from this table by Rajasekaran et al should have been excluded, as it included fewer than 5000 patients. The corrected table without this study is shown below, and this change does not alter our other findings and conclusions. An author and corresponding affiliation were omitted and is now revised as follows:
