The hospital ward, operations and anaesthetic, sentence 6

Before a general anaesthetic the stomach must be empty, called nil by mouth, so food can't come up and get into the lungs; if someone eats anyway, the operation may have to be put off.

Who acts: stomach, food, someone, operation · What happens: be, call, not come up, get, eat, have · To what, where: nil, lungs · Speech: someone speaks here
