Impact of Maltodextrin on Glycemic and Hemodynamic Management During Cesarean Section

Impact of Maltodextrin, Given 2 Hours Before Cesarean Section, on Glycemic and Hemodynamic Management of Pregnant

The goal is to evaluate the glycemic and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing caesarean section in patients treated with maltodextrins two hours before the cesarean section

The patients undergoing elective cesarean section will be randomly divided in two groups: patients who drink 200 ml of clear liquid two hours before surgery or patients treated with 200 ml maltodextrins two hours before the surgery. The glycemic control will be done immediately before the maldodextrin administration and after the cesarean section by gluco stick. Standard hemodynamic monitoring ECG, Heart Rate, Blood pressure, Temperature, preipheral oxygen saturation will be done routinely.

Inclusion Criteria:

• informed consent
• first cesarean section
• single fetus
• ASA I-II

Exclusion Criteria:

• BMI<18
• BMI>35
• contraindication to spinal anesthesia
