Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of carbohydrate-rich drink (CHO) on perioperative
discomfort, hemodynamic changes, and insulin response in patients undergoing surgery with spinal anesthesia.
METHODS: Forty-four adult patients were assigned to one of the two groups of 22, namely preparation with CHO (CHO
group) or fasting from midnight (control group). Ten different discomfort variables, blood glucose and insulin
concentrations, and hemodynamic changes were recorded during the perioperative period.
RESULTS: Preparation with CHO was effective in reducing hunger, thirst, malaise, unfitness, and, to some extent,
anxiety (p < 0.05). Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were increased in the CHO group (p < 0.05). Plasma
glucose increased and insulin decreased in the control group (p < 0.05). In the control group, mean arterial pressure was
lower compared to the CHO group (p < 0.05).
