Trial summary

Preoperative midnight NPO is a traditional method for preventing aspiration during general anesthesia. However, recent studies reported that drinking carbohydrate beverage, three hours prior the surgery helps reducing patients starving, uncomfortment, and fatigue without other complication.

About this study

Preoperative midnight NPO is a traditional method for preventing aspiration during general anesthesia. However, recent studies reported that drinking carbohydrate beverage, three hours prior the surgery helps reducing patients starving, uncomfortment, and fatigue without other complication. QOR 40 is developed for evaluating patients' recovery condition regarding physical, psychological, and social aspects. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS) is a concept for reducing patients' hospital stay and helping recovery. Studies showed that drinking carbohydrate beverage made better recovery of bowel function and shorter hospital stay in colorectal surgeries. However, the effect of carbohydrate drink for laparoscopic surgery is not yet proved. Therefore, the investigators will show the effect of carbohydrate drinking through this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • carbohydrate beverageDietary supplement

    Carbohydrate group drinks carbohydrate beverage 400ml(9PM~MN) the day before the surgery and 200ml three hours before the surgery.

  • NPO(None Per Oral)Dietary supplement

    NPO group does not drink any water from the MN before the surgery.
