NCT05841693

Brief Summary

The establishment of the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean protocols resulted in to the production of specific care pathways with the aim of optimizing recovery after cesarean delivery (CD) and to reduce the costs to the health care system. Carbohydrate rich fluids are offered in this aspect to enhance postoperative quality of recovery. The primary aim of this randomised control trial is to assess the impact of pre-operative carbohydrate loading on obstetric quality of recovery after elective cesarean section.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) score 24 hours

    ObsQoR-10 score at 24 hours after surgery for both parturients consumed carbohydrate rich solution or placebo fluid. There are 10 questions, and the results are tabulated out of 100. The higher the overall score out of 100, the better quality of recovery a patient is experiencing.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) score 72 hours

    72 hours

  • Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) score 7 days

  • Hospital discharge

Study Arms (2)

Experimental ( Carb Group)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Preoperative education will be provided by researchers to the patients on the ward before fluid intake.Solid food and drinking will be forbidden after 24:00 p.m the day before surgery. The Carb group will consume carbonhydrate fluid two hours before the surgery.

Drug: Carbohydrate

Standard Care (Non-carb Group)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Preoperative education will be provided by researchers to the patients on the ward before fluid intake. Solid food and drinking will be forbidden after 24:00 p.m the day before surgery.The Non-carb Group will consume same amount of placebo fluid as Carb Group two hours before the surgery

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

The experimental group of patients will consume the carbohydrate rich fluid 2 hours before the elective CD.

Also known as: Preoperative carbohydrate rich feeding solution
Experimental ( Carb Group)

The control group will be offered same amount of placebo fluid.

Also known as: Preoperative placebo fluid
Standard Care (Non-carb Group)
