NCT05494268

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this randomised control trial is to assess the impact of pre-operative carbohydrate loading on thiol disulfide homeostasis when compared to standard care in elective cesarean section. Half of the participants will receive pre-operative carbohydrates and the other half will receive standard care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The comparison of the changes in thiol disulfide values between the groups

    The native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, native thiol/total thiol ratio, disulfide/native thiol ratio, and disulfide/total thiol ratio will be determined.

    From beginning to two hours after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of intraoperative hypotension

    From beginning to the end of the surgery

  • Total ephedrine usage

    From beginning to the end of the surgery

Study Arms (2)

Experimental ( Carb Group)

Preoperative education will be provided by researchers to the patients on the ward before fluid intake. Solid food will be forbidden starting at 20:00 p.m, and drinking will be forbidden after 22:00 p.m the day before surgery. The Carb Group will consume carbohdrate fluid and Non-carb Group will consume equal amount of water at night and two hours before the surgery.

Drug: Carbohydrate

Standart Care (Non-carb Group)

Preoperative education will be provided by researchers to the patients on the ward before fluid intake. Solid food will be forbidden starting at 20:00 p.m, and drinking will be forbidden after 22:00 p.m the day before surgery. The Carb Group will consume carbohdrate fluid and Non-carb Group will consume equal amount of water at night and two hours before the surgery.
