There was no evidence to suggest that a shortened fluid fast results in an increased risk of aspiration, regurgitation or related morbidity compared with the standard 'nil by mouth from midnight' fasting policy. However, there is no available data regarding the safety and efficacy of fasting approach in patients undergoing cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a non-fasting protocol is non-inferior in regard to safety to a fasting protocol (current practice) in patients undergoing cardiac device implantation procedures

Serum creatinine level
Serum creatinine (mg/dL)
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedure
Serum urea level
Serum urea (mg/dL)
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedure
eGFR
GFR is Glomerular Filtration Rate and it is a key indicator of renal function. eGFR is estimated GFR and is a mathematically derived entity based on a patient's serum creatinine level, age, sex and race.
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedure
Heart rate
Heart rate (frequency per minute) will be assessed by using a monitoring device
Time frame: pre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedure
Oxygen saturation
Oxygen saturation (%) will be assessed by using a monitoring device
Time frame: pre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedure
Blood pressure
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be assessed by using a monitoring device
Time frame: pre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedure
blood pH
Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (number).
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural
blood PaCo2
Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mmHg).
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural
blood HCO3
Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mEq/L).
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural
blood sugar
Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mg/dL).
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedure
Sodium
Will be assessed by blood test.
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedure
Potassium
Will be assessed by blood test (mm/L).
Time frame: 1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedure
Patients general satisfaction
Patients general satisfaction with procedure as assessed by the patient satisfaction survey form using Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a better outcome)
Time frame: During the first 24 hours after the procedure
Sleep quality
Sleep quality based on Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a better outcome)
Time frame: During the first 24 hours after the procedure
Surgical site pain
Surgical site pain based on Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a worse outcome)
Time frame: During the first 24 hours after the procedure
Length of ICU stay
Based on the number of ICU stay nights

Length of hospital stay
Based on the number of ICU stay nights plus ward stay
Time frame: Up to 30 days
Operation site infection rate
Operation site (Chest) infection rate via Telephone /follow-up visits
Time frame: During 30 days after the procedure
Incidence of death
The investigators will then divide the causes into 1) operation related and 2) non-operation related causes
Time frame: During 30 days after the procedure
