This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.
This trial tests whether allowing patients to drink clear fluids (like water or juice) up until surgery starts is safe, instead of fasting for hours. It may help you feel more comfortable before your operation.
This study is testing whether a special psychological support program before and after lung cancer surgery can improve your recovery and well-being. If you are having surgery to remove lung cancer, you may be able to join and get extra emotional and mental support.
This trial tests whether a specific way of giving fluids during surgery (called goal-directed fluid therapy) can improve recovery after head and neck cancer surgery. It involves having a small tube in your artery to closely watch your blood pressure.
This study tests whether patients can drink water soon after urological endoscopic surgery (a minimally invasive procedure on the urinary system) to feel better and reduce post-surgery thirst. The goal is to see if safe, early drinking improves how patients feel during recovery.
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.
