Effect of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Administration in Thoracic Surgery Patients

Preoperative carbohydrate loading has been shown to reduce pre-operative discomfort and postoperative nausea and vomiting. There is no need for prolonged preoperative fasting of the patients, but the traditional approach still continues especially in thoracic surgery patients. For this purpose, we aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative carbohydrate loading on postoperative morbidity in the patients.

About this study

The study was conducted on 94 patients. The patients in the control group were fasting after midnight. Experimental group patients consumed carbohydrate drink as liquid two hours before the operation. 47 patients were in the control group (A) and 47 patients were in the experimental group (B). The groups were compared in terms of length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, vomiting, gas-stool outlet, postoperative pain conditions (VAS), inflammation parameters, blood glucose, and mobilization time.

SPSS 11.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for statistical analyses. All means were presented with 95% confidence limits. In the empirical analysis, t-test and chi-square test were used. In addition, correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between fasting time and surgical recovery time.
