Use of Maltodextrins in the ERAS Preoperative Fasting Protocol in Pediatric Surgery (ERAS-MALTO)

Use of Maltodextrins in the ERAS Preoperative Fasting Protocol in Pediatric Surgery: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Study

This monocentric prospective randomized controlled pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative maltodextrin administration within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in pediatric surgical patients. Children aged 3 to 8 years undergoing elective day surgery will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a maltodextrin-containing clear liquid or a non-sugared clear liquid before surgery. The study will assess preoperative anxiety, patient compliance, parental anxiety, oxidative stress markers, postoperative feeding tolerance, and postoperative recovery outcomes.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are multidisciplinary perioperative care programs developed to reduce surgical stress, improve postoperative recovery, and shorten hospital stay. In adult surgical populations, preoperative administration of carbohydrate-rich clear fluids has been associated with reduced insulin resistance, improved metabolic response, reduced postoperative nausea, and improved patient comfort.

Evidence regarding the use of these strategies in pediatric surgical patients remains limited. This prospective randomized controlled no-profit pilot study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of preoperative maltodextrin administration in children undergoing elective surgery.

Approximately 200 pediatric patients aged 3 to 8 years undergoing elective day surgery at the Pediatric Surgery Unit of the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria SS. Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo of Alessandria will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a maltodextrin-containing clear liquid or a non-sugared clear liquid two hours before surgery.

Primary outcome evaluation includes preoperative anxiety assessed using the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS). Secondary outcomes include parental anxiety, oxidative stress markers, postoperative feeding tolerance, postoperative vomiting, postoperative pain evaluation, and discharge eligibility after surgery.

Clinical, demographic, laboratory, anesthesiologic, and perioperative data will be collected and analyzed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of this ERAS-based intervention in pediatric surgical patients.
