NCT04159948 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 69

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Prior to caesarean section, patients should fast from solid food for 6 hours and from clear fluids for 2 hours. Carbohydrate drinks can also be consumed up to 2 hours before surgery. These drinks have been shown to improve patient well-being after surgery and may potentially improve the neonatal blood glucose level after delivery and reduce the risk of a low blood glucose level. This study aims to assess the influence of pre-operative carbohydrate drinks on blood glucose levels of the baby at delivery.
