Скачать или смотреть Pre Operative Carbohydrate Drink Protocol Gatorade

Hi, welcome to My Houston Surgeons pre-operative carbohydrate drink protocol, also known as the Gatorade drink protocol. You may have been instructed to watch this video if you're required to drink Gatorade before surgery. Let's discuss why this is important. Studies have shown that patients who drink Gatorade or a pre-operative carbohydrate drink before surgery experience improved outcomes, such as:

Decreased length of hospital stay
Better insulin resistance after surgery
Decreased pain levels
Less nausea and vomiting post-surgery

Additionally, being allowed to drink something the day of surgery may help with hunger, thirst, and anxiety levels. Please follow the applicable protocol based on whether you're:
14 years and older with diabetes or pre-diabetes
14 years and older with no diabetes
Following this protocol can make a significant difference in your surgical recovery!
