Abstract
PURPOSE As rapid discharge protocols for pediatric spine fusion shorten stays, gastrointestinal (GI) complications are uncovered and cause delays in discharge. A pre-operative carbohydrate (CHO) drink has been shown to improve perioperative GI symptoms and functional return but has not been examined in pediatric spine patients. We aimed to determine if a preoperative CHO drink is safe in pediatric spine fusion patients, and if it improves their comfort scores and return of bowel function. METHODS We prospectively randomized ASA-1 and -2 pediatric spine fusion patients to either a pre-anesthesia carbohydrate drink 2 h prior to surgery or to a control group (standard 8 h NPO), blinded to surgical team. We documented time to return to flatus, bowel movement, GI symptoms, and comfort scores for 72 h post-operatively or until discharge. RESULTS 62 patients were randomized. There was no significant differences between the groups' pre-operative characteristics, surgical details, nor post-operative morphine dose equivalents, except for EBL (405 cc control, 340 cc CHO drink, p = 0.044). There were no perioperative complications related to ingestion of the CHO drink. CHO group had a positive trend for earlier return of flatus (21% vs. 3% return at 12 h), and comfort scores for anxiety and abdominal pain, but no statistically significant differences. There was no difference in length of stay or time to first bowel movement. CONCLUSION There were no complications related to ingestion of a CHO drink 2 h prior to pediatric spinal fusion surgery. Further studies are needed to develop a study blinded to the participants with larger sample size. Level of evidence I.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of administering preoperative oral carbohydrates (CHO) compared to a control treatment in improving postoperative recovery outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). DESIGN A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. METHODS Through systematic searches in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, randomized controlled trials focusing on preoperative oral carbohydrates for patients undergoing LC were collected. Data analysis was conducted using the Revman 5.3 software. FINDINGS The meta-analysis incorporated 19 randomized studies, with a total of 1,568 participants. Meta-analysis results indicated that patients receiving CHO reported notably lower postoperative pain compared to those fasting (P = .006) or on placebo (P = .003). Furthermore, a significant reduction in preoperative hunger was observed in the CHO group compared to the controls (P = .002). A notable difference was also identified in the postoperative Homeostasis Model Assessment-IR changes between the CHO and control groups (P = .02). No significant variations were observed in thirst, postoperative nausea and vomiting, insulin level alterations, glucose level changes, duration of hospital stay, or recovery quality. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative oral carbohydrates may alleviate hunger and pain, and attenuate postoperative insulin resistance more effectively than either overnight fasting or placebo in patients undergoing LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative carbohydrate load (PCL) is intended to improve surgical outcomes by reducing the catabolic state induced by overnight fasting. However, there is disagreement on the optimal PCL prescription, leaving local institutions without a standardized PCL recommendation. Results from studies that do not prescribe PCL in identical ways cannot be pooled to draw larger conclusions on outcomes affected by the PCL. The aim of this systematic review is to catalog prescribed PCL characteristics, including timing of ingestion, percentage of carbohydrate contribution, and volume, to ultimately standardize PCL practice. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Randomized controlled trials were included if they studied at least one group of patients who were prescribed a PCL and the PCL was described with respect to timing of ingestion, carbohydrate contribution, and total volume. RESULTS A total of 67 studies with 6551 patients were included in this systematic review. Of the studies, 49.3% were prescribed PCL on the night before surgery and morning of surgery, whereas 47.8% were prescribed PCL on the morning of surgery alone. The mean prescribed carbohydrate concentration was 13.5% (±3.4). The total volume prescribed was 648.2 ml (±377). CONCLUSION Variation in PCL practices prevent meaningful data pooling and outcome analysis, highlighting the need for standardized PCL prescription. Efforts dedicated to the establishment of a gold standard PCL prescription are necessary so that studies can be pooled and analyzed with respect to meaningful clinical end points that impact surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative oral carbohydrate loading is a component of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading on postoperative clinical outcomes in spinal surgery patients. DESIGN This is a prospective case-control study. METHODS This study was conducted with patients who underwent spinal surgery from October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2021 in a neurosurgery clinic of an education and research hospital. The intervention group (n = 46) ingested 800 mL oral carbohydrate drinks at least 8 hours before surgery. The postoperative clinical outcomes were nausea, vomiting, antiemetic and analgesic drug medication, inflammation, and bleeding. The first flatus and defecation time, oral intake time, mobilization time, and length of stay in hospital were assessed postoperatively. Adverse events were monitored up to 24 hours postoperatively. The control group (n = 46) underwent routine fasting protocols. FINDINGS Lower rates of vomiting and bleeding during and after surgery and earlier defecation time and first mobilization time were determined in the intervention group, and the difference compared with the control group was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative oral carbohydrate loading is a nonpharmacological intervention that has a positive effect on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients who underwent spinal surgery and should be included in the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) affects patient satisfaction, health care costs, and hospital stay by complicating the postoperative recovery period after adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) spinal fusion surgery. Our goal was to identify recommendations for optimal management of PONV in AIS patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF). METHODS We performed a systematic review in June 2022, searching the PubMed and Embase electronic databases using search terms "(Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis) AND (Postoperative) AND (Nausea) AND (Vomiting)." Three authors reviewed the 402 abstracts identified from January 1991 to June 2022. Studies that included adolescents or young adults (<21 years) with AIS undergoing PSF were selected for full-text review by consensus. We identified 34 studies reporting on incidence of PONV. Only 6 studies examined PONV as the primary outcome, whereas remaining were reported PONV as a secondary outcome. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Grades of recommendation were assigned to potential interventions or clinical practice influencing incidence of PONV with respect to operative period (preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period) on the basis that potential guidelines/interventions for PONV can be targeted at those periods. RESULTS A total of 11 factors were graded, 5 of which were related to intervention and 6 were clinical practice-related. Eight factors could be classified into the operative period-1 in the intraoperative period and 7 in the postoperative period, whereas the remaining 3 recommendations had overlapping periods. The majority of grades of recommendations given were inconclusive or conflicting. The statement that neuraxial and postoperative systemic-only opioid therapy have a similar incidence of PONV was supported by good (Grade A) evidence. There was fair (Grade B) and poor evidence (Grade C) to avoid opioid antagonists and nonopioid local analgesia using wound catheters as PONV-reducing measures. CONCLUSION Although outcomes after spinal fusion for AIS have been studied extensively, the literature on PONV outcomes is scarce and incomplete. PONV is most commonly included as a secondary outcome in studies related to pain management. This study is the first to specifically identify evidence and recommendations for interventions or clinical practice that influence PONV in AIS patients undergoing PSF. Most interventions and clinical practices have conflicting or limited data to support them, whereas others have low-level evidence as to whether the intervention/clinical practice influences the incidence of PONV. We have identified the need for expanded research using PONV as a primary outcome in patients with AIS undergoing spinal fusion surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nausea and vomiting are common causes for prolonged postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) in children. A preoperative carbohydrate load may reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting by improving the perioperative metabolic state. The aim of this study was to determine if a preoperative carbohydrate-containing drink would lead to an improvement in the perioperative metabolic state and consequently reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting and LOS in children undergoing day-case surgical procedures. METHOD Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving children aged 4 to 16-years undergoing day-case surgical procedures. Patients were randomised to receive a carbohydrate-containing drink or a placebo. During the induction of anaesthesia, a venous blood gas, and blood glucose and ketone levels were measured. Postoperatively, the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and LOS were documented. RESULTS 120 patients were randomised with 119/120 (99.2%) undergoing analysis. Blood glucose level was higher in the carbohydrate group; 5.4 mmol/L [3.3-9.4] versus 4.9 mmol/L [3.6-6.5] (p = 0.01). Blood ketone level was lower in the carbohydrate group; 0.2 mmol/L versus 0.3 mmol/L (p = 0.003). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was not different (p > 0.9 and p = 0.8, respectively). LOS in the carbohydrate group was 26 min shorter than the placebo group (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Although a preoperative carbohydrate load may provide a more stable metabolic state at the induction of anaesthesia, we did not find a reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting. A preoperative carbohydrate load has also minimal effects on the postoperative LOS. TYPE OF STUDY Randomised clinical trial. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the United States, ambulatory surgeries account for up to 87% of all surgical procedures. (1) It was estimated that 19.2 million ambulatory surgeries were performed in 2018 (https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb287-Ambulatory-Surgery-Overview-2019.pdf). Cataract procedures and musculoskeletal surgeries are the most common surgical interventions performed in ambulatory centers. However, more complex surgical interventions, such as sleeve gastrectomies, oncological, and spine surgeries, and even arthroplasties are routinely performed as day cases or in a model of an ambulatory extended recovery. (2-5) The ambulatory surgery centers industry has grown since 2017 by 1.1% per year and reached a market size of $31.2 billion. According to the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, there is a potential to save $57.6 billion in Medicare costs over the next decade (https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/ambulatory-surgery-centers-united-states/). These data suggest an expected rise in the volume of ambulatory (same day) or extended ambulatory (23 h) surgeries in coming years. Similar increases are also observed in other countries. For example, 75% of elective surgeries are performed as same-day surgery in the United Kingdom. (6) To reduce costs and improve the quality of care after those more complex procedures, ambulatory surgery centers have started implementing patient-centered, high-quality, value-based practices. To achieve those goals, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have been implemented to reduce the length of stay, decrease costs, increase patients' satisfaction, and transform clinical practices. The ERAS fundamentals for ambulatory surgery are based on five pillars, including (1) preoperative patient counseling, education, and optimization; (2) multimodal and opioid-sparing analgesia; (3) nausea and vomiting, wound infection, and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis; (4) maintenance of euvolemia; and (5) encouragement of early mobility. Those pillars rely on interdisciplinary teamwork led by anesthesiologists, surgery-specific workgroups, and safety culture. (2) Research shows that a team of ambulatory anesthesiologists is crucial in improving postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and pain control. (7) This review will summarize the current evidence on the elements and clinical importance of implementing ERAS protocol for ambulatory surgery.

Abstract
The detrimental effects of both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia in the perioperative period are well established and have driven extensive efforts to control blood glucose concentration (BGC) in a variety of clinical settings. It is now appreciated that acute BGC spikes, hypoglycemia, and high glycemic variability (GV) lead to more endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress than uncomplicated, chronically elevated BGC. In the perioperative setting, fasting is the primary approach to reducing the risk for pulmonary aspiration; however, prolonged fasting drives the body into a catabolic state and therefore may increase GV. Elevated GV in the perioperative period is associated with an increased risk for postoperative complications, including morbidity and mortality. These challenges pose a conundrum for the management of patients typically instructed to fast for at least 8 h before surgery. Preliminary evidence suggests that the administration of an oral preoperative carbohydrate load (PCL) to stimulate endogenous insulin production and reduce GV in the perioperative period may attenuate BGC spikes and ultimately decrease postoperative morbidity, without significantly increasing the risk of pulmonary aspiration. The aim of this scoping review is to summarize the available evidence on the impact of PCL on perioperative GV and surgical outcomes, with an emphasis on evidence pertaining to patients with DM. The clinical relevance of GV will be summarized, the relationship between GV and postoperative course will be explored, and the impact of PCL on GV and surgical outcomes will be presented. A total of 13 articles, presented in three sections, were chosen for inclusion. This scoping review concludes that the benefits of a PCL outweigh the risks in most patients, even in those with well controlled type 2 DM. The administration of a PCL might effectively minimize metabolic derangements such as GV and ultimately result in reduced postoperative morbidity and mortality, but this remains to be proven. Future efforts to standardize the content and timing of a PCL are needed. Ultimately, a rigorous data-driven consensus opinion regarding PCL administration that identifies optimal carbohydrate content, volume, and timing of ingestion should be established.

Abstract
Objective Robotic surgery has more advantages than traditional surgical approaches to complex liver resection; however, the robotic approach is invariably associated with increased cost. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are beneficial in conventional surgeries. Methods The present study investigated the effects of robotic surgery combined with an ERAS protocol on perioperative outcomes and hospitalization costs of patients undergoing complex hepatectomy. Clinical data from consecutive robotic and open liver resections (RLR and OLR, respectively) performed in our unit in the pre-ERAS (January 2019-June 2020) and ERAS (July 2020-December 2021) periods were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the impact of ERAS and surgical approaches-alone or in combination-on LOS and costs. Results A total of 171 consecutive complex liver resections were analyzed. ERAS patients had a shorter median LOS and decreased total hospitalization cost, without a significant difference in the complication rate compared with the pre-ERAS cohort. RLR patients had a shorter median LOS and decreased major complications, but with increased total hospitalization cost, compared with OLR patients. Comparing the four combinations of perioperative management and surgical approaches, ERAS + RLR had the shortest LOS and the fewest major complications, whereas pre-ERAS + RLR had the highest hospitalization costs. Multivariate analysis found that the robotic approach was protective against prolonged LOS, whereas the ERAS pathway was protective against high costs. Conclusions The ERAS + RLR approach optimized postoperative complex liver resection outcomes and hospitalization costs compared with other combinations. The robotic approach combined with ERAS synergistically optimized outcome and overall cost compared with other strategies, and may be the best combination for optimizing perioperative outcomes for complex RLR.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) can lead to various postoperative complications. The risk assessment model of PONV is helpful in guiding treatment and reducing the incidence of PONV, whereas the published models of PONV do not have a high accuracy rate. This study aimed to collect data from patients in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital to develop models for predicting PONV based on machine learning algorithms, and to evaluate the predictive performance of the models using the area under the receiver characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, recall rate, F1 value and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC). The AUC (0.947) of our best machine learning model was significantly higher than that of the past models. The best of these models was used for external validation on patients from Chengdu First People's Hospital, and the AUC was 0.821. The contributions of variables were also interpreted using SHapley Additive ExPlanation (SHAP). A history of motion sickness and/or PONV, sex, weight, history of surgery, infusion volume, intraoperative urine volume, age, BMI, height, and PCA_3.0 were the top ten most important variables for the model. The machine learning models of PONV provided a good preoperative prediction of PONV for intravenous patient-controlled analgesia.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the effect of oral carbohydrate solution (OCS) administered before hip arthroplasty (HA) on preoperative anxiety and postoperative patient comfort. DESIGN The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. METHODS Fifty patients undergoing HA were randomized into two groups: The intervention group (n = 25) received OCS before surgery, and the control group (n = 25) fasted from midnight till surgery. The patients' preoperative anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), symptoms affecting postoperative patient comfort parameters using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and comfort levels specific to HA surgery using the Post-Hip Replacement Comfort Scale (PHRCS). Pre- and post-operative blood glucose levels of the patients were measured. FINDINGS In intragroup and intergroup assessments, the decrease in the preoperative and postoperative anxiety, pain, thirst, hunger, and nausea/vomiting levels were statistically significant (P < .05) in the OCS group. The OCS group's comfort levels specific to hip replacement were higher than those of the control group (P ≤ .001). In the intergroup and intragroup assessment of the patients' blood glucose levels, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the OCS group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study provide evidence supporting OCS administration before HA surgery.

Pilot study on the impact of a carbohydrate loading drink on postprandial glycemic responses and gastric emptying in adults with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nutr Clin Pract 2023; 38:108-117. [PMID: 35118717 PMCID: PMC10078677 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.10845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative carbohydrate (CHO) loading improves patient outcomes but is not extensively studied in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM), resulting in limited professional recommendations. This study examined postprandial glycemic responses and gastric emptying rates following consumption of a CHO drink in adults with and without DM. METHODS A single-arm, nonrandomized pilot trial was conducted in adults without DM (non-DM) (47.5 ± 2.5 years), with pre-DM (55.8 ± 3.0 years), and with type 2 DM (56.2 ± 2.5 years). Following an overnight fast, participants consumed a 50 g CHO drink followed by 1.5 g liquid paracetamol. Venous blood samples were collected at baseline (ie, t = 0 min) and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, and 240 min for plasma glucose and serum insulin and paracetamol concentrations to assess gastric emptying. RESULTS Participants with DM were older and had a higher body mass index than non-DM participants (31.2 ± 0.9 vs 28.2 ± 0.9). Fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels differed significantly across groups (non-DM: 95.4 ± 3.6 mg/dl and 5.2% ± 0.1%; pre-DM: 111.6 ± 3.6 mg/dl and 5.8% ± 0.1%; DM: 167.4 ± 3.6 mg/dl and 7.2% ± 0.1%). Compared with the non-DM group, DM had increased glucose responses at 30-180 min. Glucose returned to baseline at 150 min in the non-DM and pre-DM groups compared with 210 min in the DM group. Paracetamol concentrations were not significantly different between the non-DM and DM groups. CONCLUSION Blood glucose returned to baseline within ~2.5 h in non-DM and pre-DM groups and ~3.5 h in participants with DM following ingestion of a CHO drink. No consistent differences in gastric emptying rates were observed between participants with and without DM.

J Ren Nutr 2022; 33:405-411. [PMID: 36549407 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are applied in many surgical procedures and often involve preoperative carbohydrate intake. Research surrounding the utility of ERAS in living donor nephrectomy is limited. The objective of this study was to identify whether living kidney donors who received preoperative oral carbohydrates experienced a difference in length of hospital stay (LOS), duration of time required to resume regular oral food and fluid intake, and incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) complications following laparoscopic nephrectomy compared to historical control donors who underwent preoperative fasting. METHODS This study was a retrospective analysis of data from adult subjects at one transplant center who underwent laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy. A total of 55 ERAS subjects who received preoperative carbohydrates and 93 historical control subjects who underwent preoperative fasting were included in the final analysis. The following variables were compared between groups: LOS, time to tolerating a regular oral diet postoperatively, time to meeting 50% of estimated fluid needs by oral intake postoperatively, and incidence of postoperative GI complications. RESULTS No significant differences between the ERAS and historical control groups in age, weight, body mass index, sex distribution, or estimated fluid needs were identified. Both groups consisted of predominantly female subjects. ERAS subjects experienced a shorter LOS (2.8 days versus 3.9 days, P < .001), time to tolerating a regular oral diet (36.5 hours versus 68.2 hours, P < .001), and time to meeting 50% of estimated fluid needs (25.3 hours versus 44.6 hours, P < .001) after laparoscopic nephrectomy compared to historical control subjects. No significant difference between groups in the incidence of postoperative GI complications (nausea, vomiting, or ileus) was identified. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate the advantages of ERAS in living kidney donors undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy and support ERAS implementation within this patient population.

Effects of preoperative carbohydrate loading on recovery after elective surgery: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Nutr 2022; 9:951676. [PMID: 36505254 PMCID: PMC9726728 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.951676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Preoperative carbohydrate loading is an important element of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) paradigm in adult patients undergoing elective surgery. However, preoperative carbohydrate loading remains controversial in terms of improvement in postoperative outcomes and safety. We conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis to evaluate the effects and safety of different doses of preoperative carbohydrates administrated in adult patients after elective surgery. Methods MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, EMBASE, EBSCO, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched to identify eligible trials until 16 September 2022. Outcomes included postoperative insulin resistance, residual gastric volume (RGV) during the surgery, insulin sensitivity, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting serum insulin (Fin) level, the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), postoperative scores of pain, patients' satisfaction, thirst, hunger, anxiety, nausea and vomit, fatigue, and weakness within the first 24 h after surgery and the occurrences of postoperative infection. The effect sizes were estimated using posterior mean difference (continuous variables) or odds ratios (dichotomous variables) and 95 credible intervals (CrIs) with the change from baseline in a Bayesian network meta-analysis with random effect. Results Fifty-eight articles (N = 4936 patients) fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Both preoperative oral low-dose carbohydrate loading (MD: -3.25, 95% CrI: -5.27 to -1.24) and oral high-dose carbohydrate loading (MD: -2.57, 95% CrI: -4.33 to -0.78) were associated with postoperative insulin resistance compared to placebo/water. When trials at high risk of bias were excluded, association with insulin resistance was found for oral low-dose carbohydrate loading compared with placebo/water (MD: -1.29, 95%CrI: -2.26 to -0.27) and overnight fasting (MD: -1.17, 95%CrI: -1.88 to -0.43). So, there was large uncertainty for all estimates vs. control groups. In terms of safety, oral low-dose carbohydrate administration was associated with the occurrences of postoperative infection compared with fasting by 0.42 (95%Crl: 0.20-0.81). In the other outcomes, there was no significant difference between the carbohydrate and control groups. Conclusion Although preoperative carbohydrate loading was associated with postoperative insulin resistance and the occurrences of postoperative infection, there is no evidence that preoperative carbohydrate administration alleviates patients' discomfort.

Abstract
Rational:
The metabolic response to surgical trauma is enhanced by prolonged preoperative fasting, contributing to increased insulin resistance. This manifestation is more intense on the 1st and 2nd postoperative days and is directly proportional to the size of the operation.
Aim: To compare whether preoperative fasting abbreviation and early postoperative refeeding associated with intraoperative and postoperative fluid restriction interfere in the evolution of patients undergoing gastrojejunal bypass.
Methods: Eighty patients indicated for Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal bypass were selected. They were randomly divided into two groups: Ringer Lactate (RL) group, who underwent a 6 hours solids fasting, with the administration of 50 g of maltodextrin in 100 ml of mineral water 2 hours before the beginning of anesthesia; and Physiologic Solution (PS) group, who underwent a 12 hours solids and liquids fasting. Anesthesia was standardized for both groups. During the surgical procedure, 1500 ml of ringer lactate solution was administered in the RL and 2500 ml of physiological solution (0.9% sodium chloride) in the PS. In both groups, the occurrence of bronchoaspiration was analyzed during intubation, and the residual gastric volume was measured after opening the abdominal cavity. In the postoperative period in Group RL, patients started a liquid diet 24 hours after the end of the operative procedure; whilst for PS group, fasting was maintained for the first 24 hours, it was prescripted 2000 ml of physiological solution and a restricted liquid diet after 36 hours. Each patient underwent CPK, insulin, sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, PaCO2, pH and bicarbonate dosage in the immediate postoperative period, and 48 hours later, the exams were repeated.
Results: There were no episodes of bronchoaspiration and gastrojejunal fistulas in either group. In the analysis of the residual gastric volume of the PS and RL groups, the mean volumes were respectively 16.5 and 8.8, which shows statistical significance between the groups. In laboratory tests, there was no difference between groups in sodium; PS group showed a higher level of serum potassium (p=0.029); whilst RL group showed a higher urea and creatinine values; CPK values were even for both; PS group demonstrated a higher insulin level; pH was higher in PS group; sodium bicarbonate showed a significant difference at all times; PaCO2 values in RL group was higher than in PS. In the analysis of the incidence of nausea and flatus, no statistical significance was observed between the groups.
Conclusions: The abbreviation of preoperative fasting and early postoperative refeeding of Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal bypass with the application of ERAS or ACERTO Project accelerated the patient’s recovery, reducing residual gastric volume and insulin level, and do not predispose to complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative carbohydrate treatment attenuates insulin resistance and improves metabolism to an anabolic state. Despite these benefits, impaired glycemic control and aspiration risk related to gastroparesis represent concerns for patients with diabetes undergoing surgery. This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of oral carbohydrate therapy on perioperative glucose variability, metabolic responses, and gastric volume in diabetic patients undergoing elective total hip or knee arthroplasty. METHODS Fifty diabetic patients scheduled to undergo elective total knee or hip arthroplasty during August 2019-October 2020 were randomly assigned to a control or carbohydrate therapy (CHO) group. CHO group of patients received a 400-mL carbohydrate drink 2-3 h before anesthesia; control group of patients underwent overnight fasting from midnight, one night before surgery. Blood glucose levels were measured before intake of the carbohydrate drink, before spinal anesthesia, preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and 1 h postoperatively. Insulin level and gastric volume were measured before spinal anesthesia. RESULTS The glucose variability of patients in the CHO group was significantly higher than that of those in the control group (16.5 vs. 10.1%, P = 0.008). Similarly, insulin resistance was higher in the CHO group than in the control group (8.5 vs. 2.7, P < 0.001). The gastric volume did not differ significantly between the groups (61.3 vs. 15.2 ml, P = 0.082). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative oral carbohydrate therapy increases glucose variability and insulin resistance in diabetic patients. Therefore, carbohydrate beverages should be cautiously administered to diabetic patients, considering metabolic and safety aspects. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT04013594).

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The preoperative use of carbohydrate loading (CHO) is recommended in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, even if the advantages remain debatable. The aim was to evaluate the CHO benefits in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS A systematic search of randomized clinical trials was made. A frequentist random-effects network meta-analysis was carried out, reporting the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA). The primary endpoint regarded the morbidity rate. The secondary endpoints were aspiration/regurgitation rates, the length of stay (LOS), the rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the changes (Δ) in insulin sensitivity or resistance, and the postoperative C- reactive protein (CRP) values. RESULTS CHO loading and water administration had a similar probability of being the approach with a lower morbidity rate (SUCRA = 62.4% and 64.7%). CHO and clear water also had a similar chance of avoiding the PONV (SUCRA of 80.8% and 77%). The aspiration regurgitation rate was not relevant in non-fasting patients (0.06%). CHO administration was associated with the shorter hospitalization (SUCRA 86.9%), with the best metabolic profile (SUCRA values for insulin resistance and sensitivity were 81.1% and 76%). CHO enriched was the best approach for postoperative CRP values. Preoperative fasting was the worst approach for morbidity, PONV, insulin resistance and sensitivity, and CRP (SUCRA values of 32.1%, 21.7%, 10.2%, 3.2%, and 2.0%). CONCLUSION Both preoperative CHO loading and clear water use were superior to the fasting about morbidity. CHO drinks use could provide specific advantages, reduce the PONV rate, and improve carbohydrate homeostasis, inflammatory pathway, and hospitalization.

Abstract
Currently, there is a lack of consensus on the provision of preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to theoretical concerns including the possibility of delayed gastric emptying, perioperative hyperglycemia, and poor surgical outcomes. This narrative review summarizes the accumulating evidence on preoperative carbohydrate loading in this population and whether these concerns are supported by preliminary evidence. In general, the available research suggests that carbohydrate loading may be implemented in those with T2DM without increased risk for intra- and postoperative hyperglycemia or surgical complications. However, there is strong justification for future research to definitively study this highly debated and timely topic. Ultimately, the inclusion of preoperative carbohydrate loading for surgical patients with DM should be guided by the surgical team's clinical judgment and individualized based on patient needs and characteristics.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing orthopedics surgery experience the most severe postoperative pain. The fasting time is a factor that affects this complication. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of fasting time reduction by using oral carbohydrate on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in orthopedic patients. Materials and Methods This randomized control trial was conducted between November 2017 and December 2018. Sixty-four patients were randomly assigned into the intervention (which consumed 200 mL of the 12.50% carbohydrate, 2 h before the surgery) and the control group (which was fasted from midnight). Postoperative pain was measured by visual analog scale; the amount of the consumed analgesics was also recorded. The data were analyzed by using Chi-square and t-test. Results The mean (SD) of the pain scores in the control group immediately and 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 h after consciousness were 7.19 (2.64), 6.69 (2.17), 6.31 (2.05), 6.16 (2.08), 6.06 (2.24), and 5.38 (1.86), respectively. These scores for the intervention group were 7.44 (1.48), 6.31 (1.25), 5.72 (1.17), 5.59 (1.43), 5.25 (1.13), and 4.97 (1.57). The mean of the pain scores between two groups was not different (p > 0.05). The amount of the consumed morphine (t 61= -2.10, p = 0.039), pethidine (t 62= -2.25, p = 0.028), and diclofenac (t 62= -2.51, p = 0.015) were significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions The pain intensity in the patients with shortened fasting time was lower, but it was not statistically significant. Moreover, reducing fasting time by using carbohydrate significantly reduced the use of analgesics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fasting is a standard preoperative procedure performed to prevent vomiting and pulmonary aspiration during anaesthesia and surgery. However, fasting can cause postoperative physical and psychological discomfort. Intake of oral carbohydrate (CHO) may mimic the intake of food, which prevents postoperative discomfort. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect and safety of preoperative oral CHO in adult surgical patients. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched for in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate a pooled effect size by using random-effects models. The satisfaction outcomes were mouth dryness, hunger, thirst, pain severity, duration of hospitalization, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. The safety outcomes were the incidence of aspiration and infection. RESULTS In total, 57 RCTs involving 5606 patients were included. The outcomes of mouth dryness, thirst, hunger, and pain were assessed by a 10-point visual analogue scale (0 = best, 10 = worst). The severity of mouth dryness (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -1.26, 95% CI: -2.36 to -0.15), thirst (WMD: -1.36, 95% CI: -2.05 to -0.67), hunger (WMD: -1.66, 95% CI: -2.53 to -0.80), pain (WMD: -0.68, 95% CI: -1.01 to -0.35), duration of hospitalization (WMD: -0.39 day, 95% CI: -0.66 to -0.12), and HOMA-IR (WMD: -1.80, 95% CI: -2.84 to -0.76) were significantly lower in the CHO group than in the control group. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting did not differ between the CHO and control groups. No aspiration was recorded in any of the groups. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CHO can alleviate patient's discomfort without safety concerns. Surgeons and anaesthesiologists should strongly promote preoperative CHO as a strategy to enhance recovery after surgery protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tools for the evaluation of gastric emptying have evolved over time. The purpose of this study was to show that the risk of pulmonary aspiration is not increased with carbohydrate drink, by demonstrating that the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA) of the NO-NPO group is either equivalent to or less than that of the NPO (nil per os) group. METHODS Sixty-four patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic benign gynecologic surgery were enrolled and randomly assigned to the NPO group (n = 32) or the NO-NPO group (n = 32). After having a regular meal until midnight before surgery, the NPO group fasted until surgery, while the NO-NPO group ingested 400 mL of a carbohydrate drink at midnight and freely up to 2 hours before anesthesia. The primary outcome was the gastric antral CSA by gastric ultrasound in right lateral decubitus position (RLDP). Noninferiority was defined as a mean difference of CSA <2.8 cm2. Secondary outcomes included CSA in supine position, gastric volume (GV), GV per weight (GV/kg), GV/kg >1.5 mL/kg, and Perlas grade. RESULTS CSA in RLDP was not different between the NPO group (6.25 ± 3.79 cm2) and the NO-NPO group (6.21 ± 2.48 cm2; P = .959). The mean difference of CSA in RLDP (NO-NPO group - NPO group) was 0.04 (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.56 to 1.64), which was within the noninferiority margin of 2.8 cm2. CSA was not different between the 2 groups (4.17 ± 2.34 cm2 in NPO group versus 4.28 ± 1.23 cm2 in NO-NPO group; P = .828). GV in NPO group (70 ± 56 mL) was not different from NO-NPO group (66 ± 36 mL; mean difference, 3.66; 95% CI, -20 to 27; P = .756). GV/kg in the NPO group (1.25 ± 1.00 mL/kg) was not different from the NO-NPO group (1.17 ± 0.67 mL/kg; P = .694). The incidence of GV/kg > 1.5 mL/kg was not different between NPO (31.3%) and NO-NPO group (21.9%; P = .768). The median (interquartile range) of the Perlas grade was 1 (0-1) in NPO group and 0.5 (0-1) in NO-NPO group (P = .871). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative carbohydrates ingested up to 2 hours before anesthesia do not delay gastric emptying compared to midnight fasting, as evaluated with gastric ultrasound.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), postoperative vomiting (POV), post-discharge nausea and vomiting (PDNV), and opioid-induced nausea and vomiting (OINV) continue to be causes of pediatric morbidity, delay in discharge, and unplanned hospital admission. Research on the pathophysiology, risk assessment, and therapy for PDNV, OINV and pain therapy options in children has received increased attention. Multimodal pain management with the use of perioperative regional and opioid-sparing analgesia has helped decrease nausea and vomiting. Two common emetogenic surgical procedures in children are adenotonsillectomy and strabismus repair. Although PONV risk factors differ between adults and children, the approach to decrease baseline risk is similar. As PONV and POV are frequent in children, antiemetic prophylaxis should be considered for those at risk. A multimodal approach for antiemetic and pain therapy involves preoperative risk evaluation and stratification, antiemetic prophylaxis, and pain management with opioid-sparing medications and regional anesthesia. Useful antiemetics include dexamethasone and serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists such as ondansetron. Multimodal combination prophylactic therapy using two or three antiemetics from different drug classes and propofol total intravenous anesthesia should be considered for children at high PONV risk. "Enhanced recovery after surgery" protocols include a multimodal approach with preoperative preparation, adequate intravenous fluid hydration, opioid-sparing analgesia, and prophylactic antiemetics. PONV guidelines and management algorithms help provide effective postoperative care for pediatric patients.

Preoperative Carbohydrate Drinks Do Not Decrease Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty-A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2021; 29:35-43.

Abstract
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). METHODS Eighty-two patients were randomized to either the intravenous (IV) Dextrose group (n = 41) or Oral carbohydrate (CHO) group (n = 41). The IV Dextrose group received dextrose solution mixed with insulin while fasting, and the Oral CHO group received carbohydrate drinks preoperatively. PONV was assessed up to postoperative 36 hours, and QoR was assessed before surgery and on postoperative day (POD) 1. Blood glucose was measured from the morning of surgery until POD 1. RESULTS PONV scores were not different between the groups. Postoperative QoR scores were significantly higher in the Oral CHO group (median [interquartile range]; 160 [153 to 167]) than the IV Dextrose group (155 [147 to 159]) (P = 0.009), but the difference did not meet the minimal clinically important difference. Blood glucose was comparable between the groups. DISCUSSION Preoperative CHO drink did not reduce PONV in diabetic patients after total knee arthroplasty. A statistically significant but clinically questionable improvement in the QoR was seen in the Oral CHO group. However, preoperative CHO drink did not increase hyperglycemia, which suggests that it may be a safe component of perioperative care in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Background The guidelines recommend oral carbohydrates up to 2 hr before elective surgery. The objective of this study was to explore the safety and feasibility of preoperative carbohydrate drink in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. Material/Methods Patients undergoing ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. They were fasted from midnight and randomly assigned to a study group (200 mL of a carbohydrate beverage) or the control group (pure water) and received the assigned drink 2 hr before surgery. Bedside ultrasonography was performed to monitor gastric emptying at T0 (before liquid intake), T1 (5 min after intake), T2 (1 hr after intake), and T3 (2 hr after intake). Subjective feelings of thirst, hunger, anxiety, and fatigue were assessed 1 hr after liquid intake using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Results In both groups, gastric antrum cross-sectional area, gastric content volume, and weight-corrected gastric content volume increased at T1 and returned to baseline at T3. These parameters were significantly higher in the study group at T2 (6.28±1.38 vs. 4.98±0.78, 67.22±29.49 vs. 49.04±15.4, 1.10±0.51 vs. 0.85±0.37, P<0.05). Thirst and hunger VAS scores were reduced in both groups. The study group suffered significantly less hunger (28.44±10.41 vs. 36.03±14.42, P<0.05). Blood electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium) and glucose concentration levels were similar in both groups at T2. No gastric regurgitation or pulmonary aspiration was recorded. Conclusions Administration of 200 mL of oral carbohydrate beverage 2 hr before ambulatory surgery is safe, effective, and can be used for preoperative management of fasting patients.

Abstract
The concept of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) emerged at the turn of the millennium and quickly gained footing worldwide leading to the establishment of institutional ERAS protocols and subspecialty guidelines. While the use of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis predates ERAS by a significant extent, the emergence of ERAS amplified the importance of antiemetic prophylaxis in perioperative care and drew attention to the truly multifactorial nature of postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction. The following discussion will review key paradigms behind PONV prophylaxis and ERAS, highlight the interrelationship between these two endeavors, and then explore subspecialty ERAS guidelines that uniquely influence PONV prophylaxis. Attention will center on the ERAS Society guidelines (ESGs) as the primary representative of current ERAS practice, though many deviations from the guidelines exist within the literature and institutional practices.

Abstract
Background: Perioperative anxiety, hunger, thirst, fatigue, pain along with nausea and vomiting can influence a patient's recovery after surgery. We aimed to compare 'enhanced recovery after surgery' (ERAS) protocol with a traditional perioperative approach to evaluate a patient's recovery after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A prospective randomised controlled study was conducted after institutional ethical clearance on 50 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and divided equally into two groups. In group 1 (traditional); standard fasting guidelines and routine perioperative management was implemented. In group 2 (ERAS); patients received appropriate multimedia information about surgery and anaesthesia besidecarbohydrate loading with tender coconut water on the previous night and on the morning of surgery. Standard guidelines of fasting for solids were followed. Intraoperatively, goal-directed fluid therapy and an inspired oxygen concentration of 60% were administered. Postoperatively, early diet and mobilisation were initiated. The primary outcome was the assessment of perioperative anxiety. Hunger, thirst, fatigue, pain, nausea, vomiting and overall perioperative experience were also evaluated. Results: ERAS group had reduced anxiety prior to surgery: median (interquartile range) 3 (3–4) vs 2 (2–3) (P = 0.003), and at 6 h postoperatively: 4 (3–6) vs 3 (1–4) (P = 0.001). Hunger, thirst and fatigue (P < 0.01) were also decreased with better overall perioperative experience (5 [4–5] vs 6 [5–7], P = 0.004). Pain, nausea, vomiting and blood glucose were similar between the groups. Conclusion: 'ERAS approach reduces anxiety in addition to hunger, thirst and fatigue with enhanced overall perioperative comfort in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oral carbohydrate consumption before surgery improves insulin sensitivity, cardiac output and well-being, and shortens hospital stays without adverse effects. No work has compared higher-dose carbohydrate beverages made for preoperative consumption to common, commercial oral rehydration solutions with lower carbohydrate concentrations. METHODS We recruited low-risk women undergoing scheduled cesarean deliveries with planned spinal anesthesia. Participants were randomized to one of three groups: those who consumed Clearfast® beverage, those who consumed Gatorade Thirst Quencher® beverage, or fasting control. Participants in the two beverage groups received 710 mL of the appropriate beverage the night before surgery and 355 mL 2 h before surgery. Participants in the control group fasted after midnight the night before surgery. Two hours before surgery, we recorded baseline patient well-being using visual analogue scales, followed by beverage consumption for subjects in the beverage groups. One hour later, we repeated the same assessment. Additional recorded measures included cord blood glucose level, intraoperative variables, breastfeeding success, and a quality of recovery assessment administered 1 day after surgery. RESULTS Forty-seven patients were recruited: 15 received Clearfast®, 17 received Gatorade Thirst Quencher®, and 15 patients fasted after midnight. Group differences in change in patient well-being using visual analog scales were analyzed using linear regression. Both beverage-consuming groups showed significant improvements in patient well-being using visual analog scales while fasted patients showed no change. CONCLUSION Either a common oral rehydration beverage or a higher-dose carbohydrate beverage consumed preoperatively resulted in superior well-being compared to fasting. No differences in other outcomes were noted. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with clinical trial registration number: NCT02684513.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare the enhanced recovery after surgery pathway with the standard perioperative care protocol concerning complications, postoperative length of stay and 1-year survival rate. METHODS Using a before-after cohort study design, data from patients with pancreatic head cancer, who consecutively underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, were retrospectively collected. RESULTS Compared to the control group, patients with soft pancreas in the enhanced recovery after surgery group had a lower incidence of delayed gastric emptying (36.7% vs 13.3%, P = 0.026) and respiratory complications (46.7% vs 20.0%, P = 0.028), and shorter postoperative length of stay (All: 10.9 ± 3.4 d vs13.5 ± 3.8 d, P = 0.002; Soft: 11.2 ± 3.8 d vs14.0 ± 4.5 d, P = 0.001). The 1-year survival rates were similar between the groups. CONCLUSION The enhanced recovery after surgery pathways can significantly reduce the incidence of certain surgical complications and decrease the postoperative length of stay. It does not affect 1-year survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has been applied to a variety of surgeries. However, the efficacy and safety of the ERAS program in laparoscopic digestive system surgery remain unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the ERAS program and traditional perioperative care (TPC) in laparoscopic digestive system surgery. METHODS We searched five electronic databases for eligible trials. STATA version 14.0 and Revman version 5.3 were used to analyze the data. The results were presented and analyzed by weighted mean difference (WMD) and risk ratio (RR) at their 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Twenty-five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of 2219 patients were included in our meta-analysis. The results revealed that the postoperative hospital stay (PHS) (WMD: 2.13 day, 95% CI: 2.56 to -1.70, p = 0.000), time to first flatus (WMD: 12.68 h, 95% CI: 15.95 to -9.41, p = 0.000), and time to defecation (WMD: 34.35 h, 95% CI: 46.82 to -21.88, p = 0.000) were significantly shorter in the ERAS group compared to the TPC group. Additionally, the overall postoperative complication rate (RR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.49 to 0.88, p = 0.000) was markedly lower in patients using the ERAS program. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the ERAS program is associated with faster postoperative rehabilitation, shorter PHS, and better postoperative complication rates. The use of the ERAS program for laparoscopic digestive system surgery is more effective and safe than TPC, and it should be recommended. (PROSPERO registration number:CRD42018118551).

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A prospective randomized controlled trial. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect and safety of a new multimodal nutritional management (MNM) protocol for patients receiving primary lumbar spine surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Poor nutritional status is common in the perioperative period in primary lumbar spine surgery, and may impede recovery after surgery. METHODS A total of 187 patients were included in this prospective randomized controlled trial. They were randomly assigned to the MNM group or the control group. Albumin (ALB) infusion, postoperative ALB level, electrolyte disorders, postoperative electrolyte levels, transfusion rate, postoperative hemoglobin level, length of stay (LOS), and complications were compared between the groups. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the rate and the total amount of ALB infusion were lower in the MNM group, and the postoperative level of ALB in the MNM group was higher on the first postoperative day, and the third postoperative day. The incidence of hypokalemia, hyponatremia, and hypocalcemia were lower in the MNM group. In the MNM group, the postoperative levels of sodium, potassium, and calcium were higher than the control group. The transfusion rate was similar between the two groups. The hemoglobin level was similar between the two groups on first postoperative day, but was higher in the MNM group on third postoperative day. LOS in the MNM group was shorter than in the control group. The incidence of wound drainage was lower in the MNM group. No statistical differences were observed regarding surgical complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION The MNM protocol effectively reduced ALB infusion, the incidence of electrolyte disorders, and wound drainage, increased the postoperative levels of ALB, sodium, potassium, and calcium, and reduced the LOS without increasing the rate of postoperative complications.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate current evidence to determine whether oral preoperative carbohydrate drinks shorten hospital stays, reduce insulin resistance and/or improve postoperative discomfort for patients undergoing abdominal or cardiac surgery. BACKGROUND Criticisms of standard preoperative fasting have forced practitioners to explore new ways of preparing patients for theatre. Consequently, the use of preoperative carbohydrate drinks prior to elective surgery has gained momentum. Current evidence regarding the efficacy of this treatment has been inconsistent and contradictory which prompted a review of the current literature. DESIGN A systematic review of randomised clinical trials (RCTs). METHODS In accordance with Prisma guidelines, the review incorporated a systematic, comprehensive search of English-language-only texts published between 2001-2018. The search focused on five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, British Nursing Index and ASSIA). Reference lists of relevant systematic reviews and studies located were also hand-searched for eligibility and further references. All RCTs investigating the effect of preoperative carbohydrate drinks on adult patients undergoing cardiac or abdominal surgery were included. The review excluded RCTs conducted on patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus and patients under the age of 18. RESULT The review included 22 RCTs with a total sample of 2,065 patients across thirteen countries. Nine different types of surgery were identified. No significant reductions in hospital stay were noted in 8 of the ten trials. Preoperative carbohydrate drinks significantly reduced insulin resistance and improved postoperative discomfort especially in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. No definite conclusion regarding the impact of preoperative carbohydrate drinks on gastric volume and gastric pH was noted. Similarly, no adverse events such as pulmonary aspiration were reported. CONCLUSION Preoperative carbohydrate drinks were found to be safe and can be administered up to 2 hr before surgery. Such drinks were also found to reduce insulin resistance and improve postoperative discomfort especially in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there is insufficient evidence to definitively conclude what impact they have on length of hospital stay. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Patients undergoing surgery are often required to fast from midnight, while in some extreme cases patients are fasted for up to 24 hr prior to surgery. The main purpose of asking patients to undergo this prolonged fasting is to reduce the risk of aspiration. However, there is a general consensus that this traditional practice is out of date, and it is often associated with postoperative complications. On the other hand, current evidence suggests oral intake of fluids up to 90-180 min prior to surgery is safe and consumption of a preoperative carbohydrate drinks does not delay gastric emptying or affect gastric acidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While carbohydrate loading is an important component of enhanced patient recovery after surgery, no study has evaluated the effects of preoperative carbohydrate loading after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) on patient satisfaction and overall recovery. Thus, we aimed to investigate the impact of preoperative oral carbohydrates on scores from the quality of recovery 40-item (QoR-40) questionnaire after LC. METHODS A total of 153 adults who underwent LC were randomized into three groups. Group MN-NPO was fasted from midnight until surgery. Group No-NPO received 400 mL of a carbohydrate beverage on the evening before surgery, and a morning dose of 400 mL was ingested at least 2 h before surgery. Group Placebo received the same quantity of flavored water as for group No-NPO. The quality of recovery after general anesthesia was evaluated using QoR-40 questionnaire. Intraoperative hemodynamics were also evaluated. RESULTS There were no significant differences among the groups in terms of the pre- and postoperative global QoR-40 scores (P = 0.257). Group MN-NPO had an elevated heart rate compared to patients who ingested a preoperative beverage (groups No-NPO and Placebo; P = 0.0412). CONCLUSIONS The preoperative carbohydrate beverage did not improve quality of recovery using the QoR-40 questionnaire after general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared to placebo or conventional fasting. However, the preoperative fasting group had a consistently increased heart rate during changes in body position that induced hypotension, which is likely a result of depletion of effective intravascular volume caused by traditional fasting over 8 h.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-operative carbohydrate loading has been shown to reduce pre-operative discomfort and postoperative nausea and vomiting in general surgical patients. Few studies have considered day-case surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective randomised study was to determine whether pre-operative carbohydrate loading enhanced recovery after day-case cholecystectomy. DESIGN A randomised controlled trial. SETTING Secondary care in a district general and a university hospital in Finland between 2013 and 2016. PATIENTS A total of 113 patients American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II aged 18 to 70 undergoing day-case cholecystectomy were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were bleeding or coagulation disorders, BMI more than 40 kg m, dementia, insulin-treated diabetes, migraine, Meniere's disease or a history of alcohol or drug abuse. INTERVENTION The carbohydrate-rich drink group received oral carbohydrate (200 ml) 2 to 3 h before surgery, and the control (fasting) group fasted from midnight according to standard protocol. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Visual analogue scales (VAS) were used to score six forms of discomfort: the need for analgesia and antiemetics, the time to drinking, eating and first mobilisation after surgery and the time to discharge. Any hospital re-admission was also recorded. RESULTS The highest VAS scores were seen for mouth dryness and tiredness 2 h after surgery in the fasting group. There were no significant differences in any VAS scores between the study groups. No differences in time to mobilisation, need for pain or antiemetic medication or time to discharge were seen between the groups. CONCLUSION Compared with overnight fasting, pre-operative carbohydrate loading did not significantly enhance peri-operative well being or recovery in patients undergoing day-case cholecystectomy.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to present recommendations based on the ACERTO Project (Acceleration of Total Post-Operative Recovery) and supported by evidence related to perioperative nutritional care in General Surgery elective procedures. Methods: review of relevant literature from 2006 to 2016, based on a search conducted in the main databases, with the purpose of answering guiding questions previously formulated by specialists, within each theme of this guideline. We preferably used randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyzes but also selected some cohort studies. We contextualized each recommendation-guiding question to determine the quality of the evidence and the strength of this recommendation (GRADE). This material was sent to authors using an open online questionnaire. After receiving the answers, we formalized the consensus for each recommendation of this guideline. Results: the level of evidence and the degree of recommendation for each item is presented in text form, followed by a summary of the evidence found. Conclusion: this guideline reflects the recommendations of the group of specialists of the Brazilian College of Surgeons, the Brazilian Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the ACERTO Project for nutritional interventions in the perioperative period of Elective General Surgery. The prescription of these recommendations can accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients submitted to elective general surgery, with decrease in morbidity, length of stay and rehospitalization, and consequently, of costs.

Abstract
Objective Routine fasting (12 h) is always applied before laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but prolonged preoperative fasting causes thirst, hunger, and irritability as well as dehydration, low blood glucose, insulin resistance and other adverse reactions. We assessed the safety and efficacy of a shortened preoperative fasting period in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to 20 November 2015 and selected controlled trials with a shortened fasting time before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We assessed the results by performing a meta-analysis using a variety of outcome measures and investigated the heterogeneity by subgroup analysis. Results Eleven trials were included. Forest plots showed that a shortened fasting time reduced the operative risk and patient discomfort. A shortened fasting time also reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting as well as operative vomiting. With respect to glucose metabolism, a shortened fasting time significantly reduced abnormalities in the ratio of insulin sensitivity. The C-reactive protein concentration was also reduced by a shortened fasting time. Conclusions A shortened preoperative fasting time increases patients' postoperative comfort, improves insulin resistance, and reduces stress responses. This evidence supports the clinical application of a shortened fasting time before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
