 Who should receive preoperative nutrition support?

 PREOPERATIVE
OPTIMIZATION

CARBOHYDRATE LOADING
(carbohydrate-rich clear liquid consumed
the morning of surgery)

Reduced the Risk for Dehydration

Improve Subject Satisfaction

Reduce Fasting/Catabolism-Induced Insulin Resistance

Avoid Hyperglicemia

Allow Safe General Anesthesia

 Carbohydrate 100g at HS, 50g morning of surgery (2-3
Loading hours before) of isoosmolar clear fluid drink

SPECIALIZED ORAL SUPPLEMENT

Preload (Vitaflo UK), Clearfast (BevMD), preOp
(Nutricia)

 Carbohydrate Loading
with Diabetes?

Concerns with:
Delayed Gastric emptying
Impaired Glycemic Control

Limited Research

ERAS Recommendation: In Diabetic patients carbohydrate treatment can be

given along with the diabetic medication
Evidence level: Very Low
Recommendation grade: Weak

PHC: Same protocol for diabetics with juice

Role of Immunonutrient Compared These 3 Standard Formulas

ARGININE
Improves Tcell Function & enhance NO & collagen formation
Improve wound oxygenation & healing

NUCLEOTIDE
As Building blocks for RNA & DNA
Necessary for immune cell activation & cell growth

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACID

Enhance Lymphocyte Function
Modulate Inflammation
