The Science

Carbohydrate loading is a modern alternative to preoperative fasting (NPO) protocols utilizing an anesthesia approved maltodextrin formulation. This approach prepares patients for the metabolic demands of surgery by providing a sustained energy source and placing patients  in a metabolically nourished state. Similar to an athlete preparing for a competitive event, the goal of carbohydrate loading is to be optimally fueled to face the metabolic stress of surgery.

FAQs

What is Carbohydrate Loading?

Carbohydrate loading, also known as carb loading, is a nutrition technique that aims to optimize glycogen reserves in the body, allowing athletes to perform at higher intensities and for longer periods. Instead of fasting, this method involves consuming increased amounts of carbohydrates in meals and snacks, typically for 1-3 days prior to a competition or performance. This technique has also been applied to pre-surgical procedures to improve post-operative recovery and reduce catabolic effects on the body.

When to pre-op carb load?

Consuming a drink containing 50 grams of complex carbohydrates the evening before a surgical procedure is a safe and effective substitute for the traditional pre-surgery fasting (NPO*) protocol. By providing the body with a source of nourishment, complex carbohydrates help maintain a fed state and mitigate the stress response, including insulin resistance, that can result from surgery.
