A Comparative Study of Preoperative Carbohydrate Loading Dose and Fasting on Postoperative Recovery Time in Elective Abdominal Surgery Patients
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: This Study Mainly Focus on the Eras Protocol Decreasing Time of Npo and Early Discharge From Hospital to Avoid Hospital Acquired Infections
In brief
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effect of preoperative carbohydrate loading versus standard overnight fasting on postoperative recovery time in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery. A total of 144 admitted patients will be randomly assigned to either receive a preoperative carbohydrate drink or follow routine fasting protocols. The primary objective is to evaluate differences in postoperative recovery time between the two groups. Secondary outcomes include length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and patient comfort. The findings of this study may help optimize preoperative fasting guidelines and improve patient recovery outcomes.
