Safety of Gastric Volume Emptying After the Intake of Maltodextrin and Glutamine

NCT01798342 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 11

Summary

Carbohydrates (CHO)-based drinks 2h before the induction of anesthesia are recommended to decrease insulin resistance. The addition of glutamine (GLN) in these beverages may enhance the benefits of CHO alone. However, only a few studies tested the safety of this formula. The objective of this study was to evaluate the gastric residual volume (GRV) after the intake of a beverage containing CHO plus GLN using magnetic resonance (MRI).

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Aspiration of Gastric Contents
  • Adverse Effects in the Therapeutic Use of Other and Unspecified General Anaesthetics
  • Pulmonary Aspiration During Anaesthetic Induction

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Maltodextrin

The volunteers underwent MRI after the ingestion of the dietary supplement in a crossover fashion aiming at measuring the gastric residual volume

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Glutamine

The volunteers ingested 400ml (4 hours before the exam was carried out) at 8:00AM and 200ml (2 hours before the exam was carried out) at 10:00AM of a beverage containing water plus 12.5% maltodextrin plus 15g of GLN before MRI
