Does CHO drink reduce perioperative discomfort in pre-operative patients?
Does CHO drink reduce perioperative discomfort in pre-operative patients?
Providing a carbohydrate drink to pre-operative patients reduces perioperative discomfort while maintaining operating room scheduling flexibility.
May ease perioperative discomfort in elective surgery; leaves open confirmation in higher-quality trials.
Although preservation of OR scheduling flexibility resulted in a longer fasting time than recommended, CHO drink can be made available to a large proportion of patients with significantly reduced perioperative discomfort.
