Carbohydrate Beverages
By Carly Harris
Learning Objectives
ü Understand the role of pre-operative
oral carbohydrate beverages in ERAS
ü Determine how pre-operative oral
carbohydrate beverages work to
improve post-operative related
outcomes in cholecystectomies
ü Analyze current research on the
surgical outcomes when oral
carbohydrate beverages are used
2
Have You Heard of
ERAS?
(ENHANCED RECOVERY
AFTER SURGERY)
3
o ERAS= Enhanced Recovery
After Surgery
o Consensus
statements/guidelines for a
variety of surgical procedures
o Goal: improve surgical
outcomes
4
Some Components of ERAS
5
6
Why give an oral
carbohydrate beverage
(POCB)?
Post-Operative Insulin Resistance
7
Pre-operative
NPO status
Glucose Catabolism
Increased insulin
resistance/Hyperglycemia
8
The more “major” the surgery the greater
the insulin resistance and hyperglycemia
9
Post-operative hyperglycemia is actually
a survival measure for the body
12
What makes up a POCB?
Selenium
Zinc
13
What makes up a POCB?
14
Instructions for the general
population
15
How does a POCB work?
Increased insulin
resistance/Hyperglycemia
18
How else can oral carbohydrate
beverages improve outcomes?
• Less anxiety
• Less nausea/vomiting post-op
• Less discomfort related to prolonged NPO
status (thirst, hunger, dry mouth, etc.)
19
Notable Mentions..
20
Many studies have been conducted on POCB
for colorectal cancer and major abdominal
surgery but today we are focusing on
21
Cholecystectomy
• Surgical removal of the gallbladder
• Preformed open surgery or laparoscopically
Open Surgery:
- 1-2 days post-op before discharge
Laparoscopically:
- Same day discharge
22
Research on the clinical outcomes
of POCBs on cholecystectomies
23
Clinical outcome #1
Insulin Resistance
24
Control
Group:
NPO @ HOMA-IR
50 patients was used to
midnight
undergoing Experimental measure
insulin

resistance
Nutricia Preop

cholecystectomies midnight+400ml 2
hours prior to
surgery

Clinical outcome #2
Post-Op Discomfort
32
Control
Group: Malaise,
Fasting Thirst,
60 patients for 8hrs Hunger,
undergoing Experimental Weakness

hours prior to
surgery
33
Lower in Experimental Group

2 hrs. Pre-OP 2 hrs. Post-Op 24 hrs. Post-Op
34
Results/Conclusions
Preoperative CHO delivery was found to
reduce thirst, malaise, hunger and
weakness; and make the patients feel
better postoperatively
35

Results/Conclusions
Preoperative CHO delivery was found to
have no significant impact on overall
patients’ surgical experience
38
Clinical outcome #3
Hand-Grip Strength
39
Control
group: Fast Hand grip

92 patients surgery group: received operative

Dominant Hand Grip Strength
Preoperatively Postoperatively
41
Results/Conclusions
shortened fasting using
maltodextrin brought preserved
muscle strength when comparing
grip strength
42
Overall consensus
43
How can this help in
clinical practice?
44
Improved surgical
outcomes is good for
Everyone
45
From a Healthcare
Professional Standpoint
49
Further research is needed
• Larger populations
• Malnourished vs well
nourished patients
• In conjunction with
other ERAS protocols
50
Limitations to POCB
Implementation
Interdisciplinary acceptance
Cost
