The present systematic review shows that , with the exception of laparoscopic surgery , objective evidence of the effect of individual components of ERAS protocol s in reducing the stress response following colorectal surgery is limited
Abstract Enhanced Recovery or Fast Track Recovery after Surgery protocol s ( ERAS ) have significantly changed perioperative care following colorectal surgery and are promoted as reducing the stress response to surgery .
Pre‐operative carbohydrate loading may be used in type 2 diabetes patients
Background : Post‐operative insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia are associated with an impaired outcome after surgery . Pre‐operative oral carbohydrate loading ( CHO ) reduces post‐operative insulin resistance with a reduced risk of hyperglycaemia during post‐operative nutrition . Insulin‐resistant diabetic patients have not been given CHO because the effects on pre‐operative glycaemia and gastric emptying are unknown
