简要总结
The study is a randomised controlled trial that aims to evaluate whether carbohydrate loading pre-endoscopy can improve patients' overall satisfaction and is not associated with negative impact on endoscopic quality or increased complications. A questionnaire will be completed by participants prior to endoscopy.
详细描述
Currently, the evidence of usage of CHO is mainly for pre-operative patients and has never been evaluated for use in patients before endoscopic procedures which would also require them to fast substantially. Using the same principles of perioperative care, the aim of this a pilot study is to evaluate if Preload usage prior to endoscopic procedures will minimise patient discomfort secondary to fasting with alleviation of preprocedural thirst, hunger and anxiety symptoms. As a result, it may also reduce the urge for patients to drink and ingest prior to endoscopy, which may translate to last minute cancellation of procedures and wastage of precious resources. We believe it will improve overall patient experience and compliance to preprocedural fasting, without significant risks for patients or affecting the quality of endoscopy.

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluate if Carbohydrate rich drink (CHO) pre-endoscopy improves patients' overall satisfaction.
时间窗: Questionnaire to be completed 30 to 60 minutes before endoscopy.
To evaluate if Carbohydrate rich drink pre-endoscopy helps to reduce discomfort experienced by patients during fasting, with lesser thirst, hunger, pain and anxiety, resulting in better overall satisfaction for endoscopic procedures. Participants will be asked to complete a Satisfaction Questionnaire prior to the endoscopy.
次要结局
- Evaluate if Carbohydrate rich drink (CHO) pre-endoscopy is safe for patients(Endoscopist Questionnaire will be completed within 60 minutes post endoscopy.)
- Evaluate if Carbohydrate rich drink (CHO) pre-endoscopy affects the quality of gastric preparation(Endoscopist Questionnaire will be completed within 60 minutes post endoscopy.)
