A Randomized Controlled Trial of Preoperative Carbohydrate Drinks on Postoperative Walking Capacity in Colorectal Surgery.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Carbohydrate group and Control group for Bowel; Disease, Carbohydrate Absorption and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This prospective randomized controlled study is designed to investigate whether preoperative oral carbohydrate loading improves postoperative walking performance, a surrogate indicator for overall functional recovery, in patients undergoing colorectal surgery as measured by 2-minute and 6-minute walk test. The secondary outcomes are postoperative insulin resistance measured with plasma insulin and glucose concentrations. The tertiary outcomes are duration of hospital stay, patients satisfaction during staying in the hospital and morbidity measured as postoperative complications.
