CArbohydrate Loading in Aortic Surgery

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The adverse effects of overnight fasting before surgery have been well-documented in the contemporary literature. Still, due to the possibility of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, many clinicians worldwide still employ this practice. On the other hand, the benefits of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading (OCHL) have been shown in various patient groups. Studies examining the usefulness of preoperative OCHL in aortic surgery are lacking. In particular, no randomized control trials have specifically examined the impact of preoperative OCHL on the postoperative course in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic surgery.

Conditions

  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
  • Leriche Syndrome

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

carbohydrate-rich beverage

Patients in the OCHL group will drink a high-carbohydrate beverage (12.6% carbohydrates, 50 kcal/100 mL, 285 mOsm/kg; PreOp®, Nutricia, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands) 800 mL in the evening before surgery (between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.), and 400 mL two hours before the induction of anesthesia.
