U.S., July 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07723391) titled 'Effect of Preoperative Carbohydrate Loading on Serum Lactate Levels in Patients Undergoing Donor Hepatectomy' on July 20.
Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial investigated whether preoperative carbohydrate loading reduces perioperative serum lactate levels in patients undergoing donor hepatectomy. Participants were randomized into two groups: an intervention group receiving a standardized oral carbohydrate drink 2-4 hours before surgery, and a control group undergoing standard preoperative fasting. Serum lactate levels were measured at five perioperative time points: induction of anaesthesia, before graft removal, 30 minu...
