PREOPERATIVE MALTODEXTRIN INTAKE REDUCES THIRST, HUNGER AND FATIGUE IN GYNECOLOGIC LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
A randomized, controlled clinical intervention study was conducted on 70 patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. The patients were divided into two groups: the CHO group intaked 600 ml of a 15% maltodextrin solution the night before surgery and an additional 300 ml of the same solution up to 2 hours before surgery, while the FAST group fasted overnight according to standard protocol. Thirst, hunger and fatigue levels before surgery and 2 hours after surgery were assessed with a 10cm-VAS (Visual Analog Scale). At these two time points, patient satisfaction was also assessed using a 5-point satisfaction scale (5- Very satisfied, 4- Somewhat satisfied, 3- Neutral, 2- Somewhat dissatisfied, 1- Very dissatisfied). Results: Thirst, hunger and fatigue levels were significantly lower in the pre-operative maltodextrin drink group compared to preoperative fasting group in both times: before induction of anesthesia and 2 hours after surgery. Patient satisfaction in the maltodextrin group was statistically significantly higher than that in the overnight fasting group. Conclusion: Intaking 300 ml of a 15% maltodextrin solution 2 hours before anesthesia induction reduces thirst, hunger, fatigue and increases patient satisfaction in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
