About this study

Official title: Effect of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrates on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting and Quality of Recovery in DM Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of carbohydrate-rich drink on postoperative nausea and vomiting in diabetic patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The secondary purpose is to investigate the effects of carbohydrate-rich drink on quality of recovery and inflammation in diabetic patients after total knee arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Carbohydrate-rich drink has been proved to neither delay gastric emptying nor affect gastric acidity and is therefore considered safe to use in elective surgical patients without risk factors for pulmonary aspiration. It reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting and improved sense of well-being after surgery. Moreover, carbohydrate-rich drink was not found to be affected by delayed gastric emptying in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes. Therefore, carbohydrate drink may be safely administered 3 h before anesthesia without risk of hyperglycemia or aspiration.

Being tested
Carbohydrate-rich drink, 10% dextrose solution mixed with insulin 16 unit 100 mL/h

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Score of quality of recovery

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Degree of inflammation

    Degree of inflammation is determined by white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and C-reactive protein

    Measured: 24 hours
