Reduced Perioperative Insulin Resistance
Studies have associated preoperative carbohydrate beverages with reductions in postoperative insulin resistance compared with traditional overnight fasting.
Improved Patient Comfort
Patients receiving preoperative carbohydrate drinks have reported reduced thirst, hunger, and anxiety prior to surgery.
Enhanced Recovery Protocols
Clear carbohydrate beverages are commonly incorporated into ERAS perioperative pathways designed to support recovery following surgery.
Several medical organizations support the use of clear carbohydrate beverages prior to surgery in appropriate patients:
