Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Carbohydrate drink
Volunteers receive a carbohydrate drink of 400 ml (50 g of glucose, clear color, same appearance, and containing bottles of water, prepared by the nutrition division, Songklanagarind hospital)
Gastric ultrasound will be performed by the radiologist on each participant before the study and at 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes after drinking in the position of head upright 45 degree with left lateral decubitus to evaluate the gastric residual volume and time to empty gastric antrum. If time to empty gastric antrum is extended, ultrasound will be serial performed at 150 and 180 minutes.
Other Names:
  • GRV
We will perform the point-of-care test of glucose before the study and at 60, and 120 minutes after drinking.
Other Names:
  • POCT glucose, DTX
Hunger will be measured by a numeric rating scale(NRS) before drinking, 60 and 120 minutes after drinking. The Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) is used for the self-report measurement of hunger levels, defined by numbers from 0 to 10, where 0 represents the lowest level of hunger and 10 represents the highest.
Other Names:
  • Hunger NRS
Thirst will be measured by a numeric rating scale(NRS) before drinking, 60, and 120 minutes after drinking. The Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) is used for the self-report measurement of thirst levels, defined by numbers from 0 to 10, where 0 represents the lowest level of thirst and 10 represents the highest.
Other Names:
  • Thirst NRS
Nausea will be measured by a numeric rating scale(NRS) before drinking, 60, and 120 minutes after drinking. The Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) is used for the self-report measurement of nausea levels, defined by numbers from 0 to 10, where 0 represents the lowest level of nausea and 10 represents the highest.
Other Names:
  • Nausea NRS
Placebo Comparator: Water
Volunteers receive a bottle of 400 ml water (clear color, same appearance, and containing bottles of carbohydrate drink, prepared by the nutrition division, Songklanagarind hospital)
Gastric ultrasound will be performed by the radiologist on each participant before the study and at 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes after drinking in the position of head upright 45 degree with left lateral decubitus to evaluate the gastric residual volume and time to empty gastric antrum. If time to empty gastric antrum is extended, ultrasound will be serial performed at 150 and 180 minutes.
