Carb plus nitrate drinks before gynecologic surgery

This study tests a type of anesthesia that avoids opioids (strong painkillers) using a numbing injection in the belly area and a sedative medicine. The goal is to see if this approach controls pain better and reduces side effects for women with higher body weight during gynecological surgery.
This study tests if drinking a sugary drink before a planned C-section improves recovery. It may help women feel better after surgery.
This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate drink before gastrointestinal surgery is safe and helpful for people with type 2 diabetes. It uses a continuous glucose monitor to track blood sugar levels around surgery.
This study compares two drinks given before surgery—maltodextrin (a carbohydrate powder mixed with water) versus sugar water—to see which one keeps the stomach empty and reduces risks during surgery on the lower limbs. It may help older patients have a safer and more comfortable experience.
This trial compares two types of fluids — dextrose (sugar water) versus saline (salt water) — to see if they reduce nausea and vomiting after surgery. All participants receive morphine through a spinal injection for pain relief, and the fluids are given through an IV to find out which one is better at preventing post-surgery upset stomach.
This study tests whether drinking a special carbohydrate solution before surgery helps children's bodies handle the stress of the operation better and recover more smoothly. The drink may reduce complications related to blood sugar control after surgery.
