Effect of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Drink on ObsQoR-10 Score After Elective Cesarean Under Neuraxial Anesthesia

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Distilled water group: Group A participants will receive 400 mL of distilled water orally, two hours before surgery.

Carbohydrate Drink: Group A participants will receive 400 mL of a commercially available clear carbohydrate-rich drink orally, two hours before surgery.

Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a preoperative oral carbohydrate-rich clear drink can improve recovery in women undergoing elective cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia. The main outcomes it aims to answer are:

Primary Outcome: Does the carbohydrate drink improve ObsQoR-10 scores at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively?

Secondary Outcomes: Does it reduce patients' hunger, thirst, and anxiety levels?

Researchers will compare patients receiving a 400 ml oral carbohydrate-rich clear drink 2 hours before surgery (Group A) to those receiving 400 ml distilled water (Group B), to assess differences in recovery and comfort.

Participants will:

Be randomized into two equal groups (n=50 each) using a computer-generated randomization table

Receive standardized anesthesia and postoperative analgesia

Eligibility

• ObsQor-10 Scores — From enrollment to 48th hour postoperatively
  Primary outcome assessment will be based on the ObsQoR-10 (Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10) scores at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively.
