Summary

This work evaluated the systemic effect of different preoperative carbohydrate (CHO) loads in pediatrics undergoing elective surgery.

Detailed description

Children undergoing surgery experience stress due to disruptions in their daily routine and exposure to various perioperative circumstances that induce anxiety and pain. The management of perioperative nutrition in pediatric patients is a crucial aspect of patient care. The concept of preoperative carbohydrate (CHO) loading has gained attention as a potential strategy to mitigate these drawbacks. The administration of a CHO-rich drink two hours preoperative has been proposed to maintain euglycemia, decline IR, and enhance postoperative recovery

Conditions
