Introduction: We evaluated whether preoperative carbohydrate drink would be able to decrease postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and improve the quality of recovery (QoR) in diabetic patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
BACKGROUND
A carbohydrate-rich drink (CHO) has been shown to reduce preoperative discomfort. It was hypothesized that it may also reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
METHODS
Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under inhalational anaesthesia (127 women and 45 men;
BACKGROUND
Preoperative oral carbohydrate (CHO) drink may improve patients' comfort. However, whether it prevents or reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is questionable.
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the effect of oral rehydration with 10% CHO drink before anesthesia on incidence and severity of
BACKGROUND
The aim of this prospective, randomized, single-blinded study was to compare the effects of a carbohydrate drink 400 mL given 2 h before the surgery with preoperative overnight fasting on the gastric pH and residual volume, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and antiemetic
BACKGROUND
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common adverse events following surgery and anaesthesia. The reported incidence is particularly high in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, ranging from 40-77%. PONV can be very distressing for patients and can result in unplanned
To determine if carbohydrates perfused into the ileum affect gastric emptying and circulating levels of gastrointestinal hormones, 18 healthy subjects were intubated with an oroileal tube. A 400-cal (60% carbohydrate, 20% protein, 20% fat) homogenized meal labeled with 111In-DTPA was then infused
