What does "NPO" mean in regards to a CT test?!


Question:
I'm Having a CT scan in the morning and one of the instructions say "NPO at least four hours prior to appointment time". I'm not sure what that means.
Answers:
Shame on them for not making this clear.

It means nothing to eat or drink.

HOWEVER, if you regularly take medications, go ahead and take your normal pills, using water to swallow them.

Other Answers:
Yeah it not to eat Or drink 4 hrs. prior to appointment.
