NCT05106933

Brief Summary

This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial with a stratified (diabetes mellitus, non-diabetes mellitus), balanced randomization (1:1), placebo-controlled study regarding the effect of carbohydrate loading 2 hours prior to the outpatient upper endoscopic procedure. All patients who were assigned for outpatient oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) were invited to join in this study voluntarily from January 2021 until August 2021. This study was conducted in the Endoscopy Unit, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Malaysia. The endoscopists that performed this procedure were blinded and there was trained staff who was not involved in the study to assess the well-being score. The study protocol had been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Universiti Sains Malaysia (JEPeM) with the assigned protocol code USM/JEPeM/20080414.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the gastric residual volume 2 hours after carbohydrate loading (intervention group) and plain water group (control group)

    Patients will be randomised into control group and intervention group. Those in intervention group will have to drink clear water containing carbohydrate (carborie) 2 hours prior to gastroscopy. Endoscopist will measure patient's gastric residual volume. Residual gastric fluid will be aspirated into the container, final volume will be measured.

    2 hour before OGDS

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the patient's well-being after ingestion of carbohydrate loading (intervention group) and plain water (control group)

    2 hours

Other Outcomes (1)

  • To assess the effect of carbohydrate loading in patient planned for OGDS in HUSM

    2 hours prior OGDS

Study Arms (2)

Plain water

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Group A patient will be given 400cc of plain water, 2 hours prior to gastroscopy

Other: Plain water

Carborie

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B patient will be given 400cc of carborie (carbohydrate drink), 2 hours prior to gastroscopy

Other: Carborie

Interventions

Measure gastric residual volume during upper endoscopic, after given plain water and carborie 2 hours prior upper endoscopy

Plain water

carbohydrate drink

Carborie
