Preoperative Carbohydrate Loading Comparison
One 10-fl-oz bottle of Ensure Pre-Surgery contains 50 g of carbohydrates, the amount recommended by ERAS Society guidelines for preoperative carb loading. A patient would have to drink more than twice that amount of the leading sports drink at a time to get the same amount of recommended carbohydrates. Ensure Pre-Surgery is low in osmolality, which means it leaves the stomach quickly.5 That allows a patient to drink it up to 2 hours before surgery and can mean reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting.6,7
