Study Summary
For more than 15 years, traditional fasting regimens prior to scheduled surgeries have been called into question, yet prolonged preoperative fasting remains common practice. While prolonged fasting is aimed at reducing the risk of pulmonary aspiration, prolonged fasting is uncomfortable, has an inconsistent effect on gastric volumes and acidity and may lead to dehydration without a clear reduction in the incidence of aspiration. Fasting by itself decreases hepatic glycogen stores, induces a state of insulin resistance and impairs cardiovascular function. Yet, prolonged preoperative fasting remains common. Preoperative oral carbohydrate (CHO) consumption improves insulin sensitivity and decreases the time to return of gut function without increasing gastric volumes or acidity compared to other clear liquids and fasting. Previous work has shown oral CHO consumption improves patient well-being to a greater degree than placebo drink (water or flavored water) and fasted controls. Oral CHO also outperforms a similar volume of intravenous glucose supplementation. These benefits have reduced hospital stays in a variety of surgical models by as much as 20%. Further, preoperative CHO supplementation improved postoperative patient hunger, thirst, anxiety, fatigue and nausea. The purpose of this research study is to determine if drinking a high carbohydrate beverage before cesarean section surgery can improve patient well-being, compared to patients who drink a low carbohydrate beverage or fast before surgery.
