Study on the safety of carbohydrates-based nutritional liquid for pre-operation use in surgical anesthesia of elderly patients with inter-trochanteric fracture
Objective To observe the safety of carbohydrates-based nutritional liquid for pre-operation use in surgical anesthesia of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.Methods A total of 48 patients with intertrochanteric fractures admitted to Gaochun Hospital Affil-iated to Jiangsu University from April 2022 to May 2023 were prospectively selected as the study subjects.They were divided into the intervention group(n=24)and the control group(n=24)according to random number table method.The patients in the intervention group were fasting from solid food for 8 hours before surgery,but drank 200 mL of carbohydrates-based nutritional liquid(special medical carbohydrate component formula with a carbohydrate content of 12.5%)for pre-operation use 2 hours before surgery;the patients in the control group were fasting and drinking-free for 8 hours before surgery.The subjective states before and after surgery,gastric emptying status,intraoperative anesthesia indica-tors(anesthesia time and blood gas status),the levels of fasting blood glucose,insulin,and insulin resistance index at admission and during sur-gery two groups were recorded.Results Before surgery,the proportion of thirsty patients in the intervention group was 0,which was significantly lower than that in the control group(54.2%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with palpitations,fear,hunger,muscle tremors,and dizziness between the two groups(P>0.05).The residual volume of the intervention group before surgery was(0.23±0.08)mL,which was lower than that of the control group[(0.38±0.11)mL],the blood levels of pH,PaCO2,HCO3-were 7.38±0.04,(43.30±2.35)mmHg,and(24.63±0.52)mmol/L,respectively,which were higher than those in the control group[7.34±0.03,(41.62±2.81)mmHg,and(23.70±1.41)mmol/L],and the differences were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05).The insulin resistance index of the intervention group patients at admission was 1.94(1.4,4.9),which was higher than that of the control group[0.66(0.3,1.8)],the difference in insulin resistance index between admission and surgery was 1.19(0.1,3.4),which was higher than that of the control group[-0.23(-0.6,1.0)],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);there were no statistically significant differences in blood glucose and serum insulin between the two groups at admission and during surgery(P>0.05).Conclusion It is high safe during the anesthesia for the elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture surgery to drink 200 mL of carbo-hydrates-based nutritional liquid for pre-operation use 2 hours during the before surgery.
