Summary

This prospective randomized controlled study will be aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading on the elderly patient's quality of recovery and satisfaction in undergoing knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery with spinal anesthesia.

Detailed description

As an essential aspect of enhanced recovery after surgery, the advantages of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading (eg, improving patients' comfort during preoperative preparation, reducing nausea and vomiting, and reducing insulin resistance) have been shown by a large number of studies. This study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial in a university hospital. Elderly ( \> 65) patients scheduled for elective TKA will be screened for enrollment in the study. Patients will be randomized into an oral carbohydrate group (Group OC), and an oral placebo group (Group OP). Solid food will be forbidden starting at 20:00, and drinking will be banned after 22:00 the day before surgery. Oral carbohydrate preload will be administered to the Group OC. In Group OP, the blinded researcher will give an equal volume of placebo fluid orally at 22:00 and 2 hours before the operation in the ward. The participant will record that the liquid has been completely consumed
