Summary
The study is a randomised controlled trial that aims to evaluate whether carbohydrate loading pre-endoscopy can improve patients' overall satisfaction and is not associated with negative impact on endoscopic quality or increased complications. A questionnaire will be completed by participants prior to endoscopy.
Detailed description
Currently, the evidence of usage of CHO is mainly for pre-operative patients and has never been evaluated for use in patients before endoscopic procedures which would also require them to fast substantially. Using the same principles of perioperative care, the aim of this a pilot study is to evaluate if Preload usage prior to endoscopic procedures will minimise patient discomfort secondary to fasting with alleviation of preprocedural thirst, hunger and anxiety symptoms. As a result, it may also reduce the urge for patients to drink and ingest prior to endoscopy, which may translate to last minute cancellation of procedures and wastage of precious resources. We believe it will improve overall patient experience and compliance to preprocedural fasting, without significant risks for patients or affecting the quality of endoscopy.
