Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Loading and Gastrointestinal Recovery After Bariatric Surgery in Metabolic Syndrome
Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Loading for Enhanced Gastrointestinal Recovery After Bariatric Surgery in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome
This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading on postoperative gastrointestinal recovery in patients with metabolic syndrome undergoing bariatric surgery. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either a preoperative oral carbohydrate drink group or a standard preoperative fasting group.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether preoperative oral carbohydrate loading can facilitate early postoperative gastrointestinal recovery. Outcome measures will include the proportion of patients achieving postoperative gastrointestinal recovery, time to postoperative gastrointestinal recovery, perioperative blood glucose levels, and other postoperative recovery-related outcomes. This study aims to provide clinical evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading in patients with metabolic syndrome undergoing bariatric surgery.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
This prospective, randomized trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading for postoperative gastrointestinal recovery in patients with metabolic syndrome undergoing bariatric surgery. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the preoperative oral carbohydrate loading group or the placebo group.
Participants in both groups will follow a standardized preoperative fasting protocol, with solid food prohibited for at least 6 hours before induction of anesthesia and clear liquids discontinued 2 hours before surgery. Participants in the POC group will consume 400 mL of an oral carbohydrate-containing beverage 2 hours before surgery, whereas participants in the control group will consume an equal volume of a placebo beverage with a similar appearance and taste but containing no carbohydrates at the same time point.
The primary outcome is postoperative gastrointestinal functional recovery, assessed using the GI-3 criteria. GI-3 recovery is defined as tolerance of oral intake accompanied by recovery of lower gastrointestinal function. The study will evaluate both the proportion of participants achieving GI-3 recovery within the predefined postoperative period and the time to GI-3 recovery.
Secondary outcomes include other measures related to postoperative gastrointestinal recovery, postoperative nausea and vomiting, quality of recovery, length of hospital stay, and other postoperative recovery-related outcomes. Perioperative blood glucose levels and glycemic variability will be assessed to evaluate the metabolic safety of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading.
Safety outcomes related to preoperative oral carbohydrate intake will also be assessed. Gastric ultrasonography will be performed before induction of anesthesia to evaluate gastric volume, corrected gastric volume, gastric antral cross-sectional area, and Perlas grade. The occurrence of perioperative regurgitation or pulmonary aspiration will also be recorded.
This study aims to determine whether, compared with placebo, preoperative oral carbohydrate loading can enhance postoperative gastrointestinal recovery in patients with metabolic syndrome undergoing bariatric surgery without increasing clinically significant perioperative glycemic fluctuations or aspiration-related risks.

Experimenteel: POC Group
Fasted from solid foods for ≥6 hours (≥8 hours after fatty or meat-containing meals), with clear liquids permitted until 2 hours before surgery, and consumed 400 mL of a carbohydrate-containing clear liquid 2 hours before surgery.
|
Participants in the POC group were fasted from solid foods for ≥6 hours (≥8 hours after fatty or meat-containing meals), with clear liquids permitted until 2 hours before surgery, and consumed 400 mL of a carbohydrate-containing clear liquid 2 hours before surgery.
The beverage provided 12.5 g of carbohydrates per 100 mL and contained no fiber, protein, or fat.

Placebo-vergelijker: Control Group
Fasted from solid foods for ≥6 hours (≥8 hours after fatty or meat-containing meals), with clear liquids permitted until 2 hours before surgery, and consumed 400 mL of a non-caloric, carbohydrate-free clear liquid with a similar appearance and taste 2 hours before surgery.
|
Participants in the placebo group were instructed to follow the same preoperative fasting regimen and to consume 400 mL of a matching non-caloric, carbohydrate-free clear liquid 2 hours before surgery.
The placebo was similar to the carbohydrate-containing beverage in appearance and taste，but contained no carbohydrates, fiber, protein, or fat.
