Fasting before surgery
It is common for patients to be told not to eat or drink before surgery (also known as fasting).
However, research shows that this leaves patients unprepared for the stress of surgery, increasing the risk of surgical infection, prolonged hospital stay, and lean muscle loss.
Carbohydrate loading
Preoperative carbohydrate loading is a high-impact, low-cost nutritional component of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®)*.
Consuming complex carbohydrates, such as PREPARE, before surgery can help to improve patient-reported outcomes such as reducing post operative nausea and vomiting, as well as feelings of thirst, hunger, and anxiety.
