Summary

Prolonged pre-operative fasting increases postoperative hospital stay and current evidence recommends carbohydrate (CHO) drinks 2 hours before surgery. Our hypothesis is that the addition of hydrolized protein to a CHO-based drink not only reduces the inflammatory response but also diminish hospitalization.

Conditions

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Carbohydrate plus hydrolyzed protein beverage

The study group received 400 ml (evening drink) or 200 ml (3h prior to operation drink) of a solution containing 11% de protein (pea hydrolized proptein), 89% de carbohydrates (maltodextrin 79% and saccharose 21%) e 0% of lipids (Providextra, Fresenius Kabi, São Paulo, Brasil). All the patients fasted for solids at least 6 hours from the operation

OTHER
