ABSTRACT
Overnight fasting before elective surgery has been the routine to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration. Recently, several international guidelines for preoperative fasting recommend to intake carbohydrate-containing fluids up to 2 to 3 hours before the induction of anesthesia to improve postoperative recovery. Based on the recommendations, we developed a "preoperative carbohydrate diet" provided for the preoperative patients. The purpose of this case report is to share our experience of applying preoperative carbohydrate loading prior to surgery.

Objective To explore the effect of combination application of preoperative carbohydrate loading and sequential enteral nutrition on the recovery of postoperative patients with stomach neoplasm.Methods Ninety-eight patients with stomach neoplasm were randomly divided into three groups.Those were Group A (preoperative fasting + sequential EN,n =33),group B (preoperative carbohydrate loading + postoperative TPN,n =33) and group C (preoperative carbohydrate loading + sequential EN,n =32).Insulin sensitivity (IS) ; Nutritional indicators including pre-albumin (PA) and transferrin (TRF) ; immunity parameters including IgG,IgM and IgA were measured in blood on the day before the operation,the 1st day,4th day and 8th day after the operation.Meanwhile,anal exhaust time after the operation,incidence of complications and postoperative hospitalizing time were also observed.Results The level of IS in group C at 4th day and 8th day after operation were 35.8 ± 3.2 and 36.1 ± 3.5,higher than those in A group and B group (A group:30.7 ±3.3,33.5 ±2.9;B group:33.7 ±3.1,34.0 ±2.2),and the differences were significant((F =20.88,7.28 ;P ＜0.05).At the 4th day after the operation,the levels of PA in group B and group C were (191 ± 11.6) mg/ and (193 ± 12.7) mg/L,significantly higher than those in group A ((176 ± 14.1) mg/L;F =17.15,P ＜ 0.01).At the 8th day after the operation,the levels of PA and TRF in group C were (221.3 ±30.81) mg/L and (86 ± 0.37) g/L,significantly higher than those in group A and group B (group A:(198.0 ± 30.6) mg/L,(1.60 ± ±0.33) g/L;group B:(202.0 ±28.6) mg/L,(1.61 ±0.34) g/L;F =5.42,5.83 ;P ＜0.01).At the 8th day after the operation,the levels of IgA,IgG and IgM in the group C were (2.74 ±0.69) g/L,(14.55 ±2.57) g/ L,(1.08 ± 0.33) g/L,significantly higher than that in group A and group B (group A:(2.30 ± 0.54) g/L,(12.71 ±2.94) g/L,(0.86 ±0.31) g/L;group B:(2.29 ±0.50) g/L,(12.06 ±3.33) g/L,(0.89 ±0.27)g/L;F =6.12,6.13,4.94;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The combination of preoperative carbohydrate loading and sequential enteral nutrition can reduce insulin resistance,improve postoperative nutritional status,improve the recovery of immune function and intestinal function,as well as reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the clinical significance of combination preoperative carbohydrate loading and postoperative enteral nutrition in patients with gastric cancer during perioperative period. Methods: 70 patients were randomly divided into group A(preoperative fasting + postoperative EN,n = 23),group B(preoperative carbohydrate loading + postoperative TPN,n = 23) and group C(preoperative carbohydrate loading + postoperative EN,n = 20).After operation,insulin sensitivity,nutritional status,immune function and clinical outcome were compared among three groups. Results: Compared with the other two groups in insulin sensitivity,nutritional status,immune function and clinical outcome,the group C was better and different(P
