About this study

Insulin resistance is a key feature of postoperative metabolism, leading to decreased glucose absorption in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, with an increased glucose release due to hepatic gluconeogenesis and hyperglycemia. Development of insulin resistance is associated with increased length of hospital stay (LOS), morbidity, and mortality. One of the strategies employed to reduce the postoperative stress response and perioperative insulin resistance includes the reduction of the preoperative fasting time via preoperative carbohydrate oral (CHO) drink. Preoperative carbohydrate intake is an integral part of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol and previous studies have shown that preoperative carbohydrate loading can increase patient comfort. Although ERAS protocols are increasingly used and implemented in bariatric surgery centres specific components of these protocols, such as preoperative oral carbohydrate nutrition, have not yet been rigorously analyzed.

The aim of this prospective study is to compare the differences in patient outcomes between preoperative CHO loading and a conventional fasting protocol. The secondary aim is to perform a subgroup analysis of Roux-en-Y bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

What participants receive

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

  • Preoperative carbohydrate drinkDietary supplement

    Allocation will be performed using an alternating weeks scheme. Patients undergoing surgery in the first week will be included in the control group and follow a conventional fasting protocol. However, patients undergoing surgery the following week will be included in the intervention group and take 800 ml of CHO drink on the day before surgery and 400 ml on the surgery day no later than 6 hours before the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preoperative carbohydrate drink in people with Bariatric Surgery and Carbohydrate Loading, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glucose level (time frame: 10 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2023.
