Preoperative carbohydrate treatment for enhancing recovery after elective surgery

Pathway for Enhanced Recovery after Spinal Surgery-A Systematic Review of Evidence for use of Individual Components

“…In a randomized controlled trial examining patient population having coronary artery bypass grafting or spinal surgery, preoperative carbohydrate loading did not attenuate postoperative insulin sensitivity (134). This is contradictory to other general surgical trials which demonstrate improved insulin postoperative sensitivity with CHO loading (135) (136). Drinking carbohydrate-rich fluids before elective surgery improves subjective well-being, reduces thirst and hunger and reduces postoperative insulin resistance but has no significant effect on length of postoperative stay and mortality (137, 138).…”

An Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol for Ambulatory Anorectal Surgery Reduced Postoperative Pain and Unplanned Returns to Care After Discharge

“…The same study also showed decreased postoperative adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, pain, diarrhea, and dizziness [6]. Preoperative carbohydrate treatment has additionally been shown to reduce length of stay by 1 day after major abdominal surgery [14, 23]. Our study found that preoperative carbohydrate treatment is associated with reductions in postoperative pain.…”

The Impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Compliance in Colorectal Surgery for Cancer

“…91,92 Although it is likely to help the patient withstand the surgical insult, a Cochrane Review found that carbohydrate loading for elective surgical patients was associated with a small decrease in LOS in comparison to placebo or fasting (reduction risk by 0.30 days; 95% CI: 0.56-0.04) and did not have an impact on morbidity (RR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.86-1.11). 93 Similarly, in the current study, carbohydrate treatment was not significantly associated with a decrease in complications. Future trials should address different oral drinks for reduced fasting.…”
