Preoperative carbohydrate drink reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Primary objective of the present study was to assess effect of carbohydrate drink given 2h before surgery on intraoperative blood glucose levels as compared to those who did not receive it. Secondary objectives included assessment of incidence and severity of PONV and duration of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      It was a prospective randomized study done in 52 non-diabetic patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Group A received 39gm of carbohydrate in 250 mL of apple juice (tetrapack) and Group B patients were given equivalent volume of plain water 2 h prior to surgery. Random blood glucose (RBS) levels were checked before fluid administration, preinduction, 1 h postinduction, and at the end of surgery. PONV was assessed using PONV Impact Scale Score (ISS) and rescue drugs, if needed, were noted.
