Malnutrition and Orthopedic Injuries
TL;DR: Given the scarcity of resources, in the absence of oral supplementation with highly nutrient food, enteral nutrition is the alternative route of administration and should be based on locally available food ingredients and not on sophisticated formulas or solutions imported from abroad.

Preoperative fasting reduction in burned patients: A systematic review
H.Y.A. Togo,E.C. Lopes +1 more
TL;DR: The benefits of reducing preoperative fasting in non-burned patients outweigh the risks and is recommended, while clinical research must be done on burned patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of preoperative oral liquid carbohydrate intake on blood glucose, fasting-thirst, and fatigue levels: a randomized controlled study.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of preoperative oral intake of liquid carbohydrate on postoperative blood glucose, fasting-thirst, and fatigue levels in patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery were analyzed.

Fluid Management in Thoracic Surgery
TL;DR: Fluid and electrolyte balance is of paramount importance for patients undergoing major non-cardiac intrathoracic surgery and the approach to the fluid therapy seems to follow the same direction.

The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for patients undergoing major elective open colorectal surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Krishna K. Varadhan,Keith R. Neal,Cornelius H. C. Dejong,Kenneth C. H. Fearon,Olle Ljungqvist,Dileep N. Lobo +5 more
TL;DR: ERAS pathways appear to reduce the length of stay and complication rates after major elective open colorectal surgery without compromising patient safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence to the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol and outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery.
TL;DR: Improved adherence to the standardized multimodal ERAS protocol is significantly associated with improved clinical outcomes following major colorectal cancer surgery, indicating a dose-response relationship.

Perioperative fasting in adults and children: guidelines from the European Society of Anaesthesiology.
Ian Smith,Peter Kranke,Isabelle Murat,Andrew Smith,Geraldine O’Sullivan,Eldar Søreide,Claudia Spies,in't Veld B +7 more
TL;DR: The key recommendations are that adults and children should be encouraged to drink clear fluids up to 2 h before elective surgery (including caesarean section) and all but one member of the guidelines group consider that tea or coffee with milk added (up to about one fifth of the total volume) are still clear fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin resistance: a marker of surgical stress.
TL;DR: A novel approach to minimize insulin resistance after surgery is being presented and suggests that simply pretreating the elective surgical patient with sufficient amounts of carbohydrates instead of fasting can significantly reduce postoperative insulin resistance.

TL;DR: It is shown that CHO significantly reduces preoperative discomfort without adversely affecting gastric contents, and Placebo did not increase gastric fluid volumes or affect acidity, and there were no adverse events.
