Clinical Trial Summary

Surgery is known to be associated with stress response affecting in a negative way the clinical outcome and patient experience. The stress response includes both sympathetic nervous system activation and systemic inflammatory response. The pituitary- sympathetic one leads to a number of metabolic changes as hyperglycemia, nitrogen loss and lipolysis on the other hand the systemic inflammatory response aggravates the perioperative metabolic changes. One of components of ERAS is preoperative carbohydrate load. Oral carbohydrate was associated with attenuation of the postoperative metabolic stress response. Nitrate rich drinks before exercises have a promising impact due to improving blood flow, mitochondrial efficiency, glucose uptake and the sarcoplasmic calcium handling all of which maximize resistance to fatigue and improved exercise performance.

Intervention

Drug:
• Low-concentration carbohydrate and nitrates
Patients in the CHON group will be given 400 mL of a clear carbohydrate drink (12.5 g/100 mL maltodextrin, 50 kcal/100 mL) and 2 capsules of beet root extract 1 gm on the evening before surgery (8 hours) and another 200 mL of the carbohydrate drink and 1 capsule of beet root extract 1 gm on the day of surgery, 2 h before anesthesia induction.
• Low-concentration carbohydrate
Patients in the CHO group will be given the same carbohydrate drink in the CHON group with 2 placebo capsules with the evening drink and one with the morning drink.

Other:
• Water with placebo capsules
Patients in the W group will be given equivalent volume of drinking water with placebo capsules by evening and in the morning of surgery.
