Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention group will begin a fasting regime the day before surgery which will involve cessation of solid foods at 2000 hours and cessation of fluids at 2200hrs. All patients will be registered on the morning surgery list. All patients will be overseeing adherence to the fasting regime ward nurse. Strategies used to monitor adherence to the intervention include regular observation. This must be finished by 2200 hours and nursing staff will monitor fluid input. The intervention group will consume 300 ml liquid carbohydrates (100 ml solution includes 22.5 maltodextrin and 2.5 g glucose) up to three hours before surgery and will be monitored by nurses. The duration of time that participants will have to consume the liquid carbohydrates 10 minutes window.

Comparator / control treatment
The placebo group will begin a fasting regime the day before surgery which will involve cessation of solid foods at 2000 hours and cessation of fluids at 2200hrs. All patients will be registered on the morning surgery list. All patients will be overseeing adherence to the fasting regime ward nurse. Strategies used to monitor adherence to the intervention include regular observation. This must be finished by 2200 hours and nursing staff will monitor fluid input. The placebo group will consume equal amounts of water three hours before surgery and will be monitored by the nurse. The duration of time that participants will have to consume equal amounts of water 10 minutes window.

Summary
Brief summary
As an essential aspect of enhanced recovery after surgery, the advantages of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading (eg, improving patients' comfort during preoperative preparation, reducing nausea and vomiting, and reducing insulin resistance) have been shown by many studies.
We hypothesized that in elderly patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery, preoperative oral carbohydrate loading would reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium and improve patient recovery.
