Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to determine the effect of oral carbohydrate solution (OCS) administered
before hip arthroplasty (HA) on preoperative anxiety and postoperative patient comfort.
Design
The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Methods
Fifty patients undergoing HA were randomized into two groups: The intervention group
(n = 25) received OCS before surgery, and the control group (n = 25) fasted from midnight
till surgery. The patients' preoperative anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait
Anxiety Inventory (STAI), symptoms affecting postoperative patient comfort parameters
using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and comfort levels specific to HA surgery using
the Post-Hip Replacement Comfort Scale (PHRCS). Pre- and post-operative blood glucose
levels of the patients were measured.
Findings
In intragroup and intergroup assessments, the decrease in the preoperative and postoperative
anxiety, pain, thirst, hunger, and nausea/vomiting levels were statistically significant
(P < .05) in the OCS group. The OCS group's comfort levels specific to hip replacement
were higher than those of the control group (P ≤ .001). In the intergroup and intragroup assessment of the patients' blood glucose
levels, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the OCS group
(P < .05).
Conclusions
The results of this study provide evidence supporting OCS administration before HA
surgery.
