Brief Summary

To evaluate the effect of early postoperative oral carbohydrate on postoperative recovery of the unilateral knee arthroplasty

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Currently, most clinical studies on the impact of oral carbohydrates on postoperative recovery are focused on the preoperative stage, with only a few small sample studies indicating that postoperative oral carbohydrates can improve patient comfort. Orthopedic surgery, especially joint surgery, requires patients to start functional exercise as soon as possible after surgery. Joint replacement surgery requires reducing the consumption of muscle tissue caused by protein breakdown. Perioperative nutritional support for patients is of great significance for postoperative muscle function recovery and good functional exercise. However, further systematic research on the impact of early postoperative oral carbohydrates on postoperative recovery is still lacking.

This study selected patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty or single condylar arthroplasty. All surgical patients undergo homogenized preoperative preparation and intraoperative anesthesia management. Eligible patients were screened before surgery, and an informed consent form was signed. Patients enrolled in the experiment were randomly assigned into one of the three groups. They are the early feeding group (EOF1, EOF2group) and the late feeding group (control group). Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of early postoperative feeding (EOF) in orthopedic surgery patients by measuring indicators such as insulin resistance index, QoR-15, and prealbumin and retinol binding protein.

Study Groups

EOF 1 group:Early drinking water group

After passing the evaluation by the anesthesiologist team in PACU, the EOF1 group drank 200ml of water.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Early drinking water

Intervention Type OTHER

After passing the evaluation by the anesthesiologist team in PACU, the EOF1 group drank 200ml of water.

The evaluation criteria for the anesthesiologist team are:

1. Steward's awakening score is ≥ 6 points.
2. Level of sobriety ≥ 3.
3. There is no need to wait for intestinal peristalsis, based on the patient's wishes, and the feeding should be completed within 2 hours after the surgery.

EOF 2 group: Early oral carbohydrate group

After passing the evaluation by the anesthesiologist team in PACU, the EOF2 group had a drinking capacity of 200ml of 12.5% carbohydrates (100ml containing 12.5g of maltodextrin, fructose, and glucose).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Early consumption of carbohydrates

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

After passing the evaluation by the anesthesiologist team in PACU, the EOF2 group had a drinking capacity of 200ml of 12.5% carbohydrates (100ml containing 12.5g of maltodextrin, fructose, and glucose).

The evaluation criteria for the anesthesiologist team are:

1. Steward's awakening score is 6 points.
2. Level of sobriety ≥ 3.
3. There is no need to wait for intestinal peristalsis, based on the patient's wishes, and the feeding should be completed within 2 hours after the surgery.

Control group: Late feeding group

After observing the vital signs for 30 minutes after surgery, patients in Group C were sent back to the ward to continue fasting and drinking for at least 6 hours. After the anus exhausts, they began to gradually drink and eat

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Late feeding group

Intervention Type OTHER

After observing the vital signs for 30 minutes after surgery, patients in Group C were sent back to the ward to continue fasting and drinking for at least 6 hours. After the anus exhausts, they began to gradually drink and eat
