About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a preoperative oral carbohydrate-rich clear drink can improve recovery in women undergoing elective cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia. The main outcomes it aims to answer are:
Primary Outcome: Does the carbohydrate drink improve ObsQoR-10 scores at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively?
Secondary Outcomes: Does it reduce patients' hunger, thirst, and anxiety levels?
Researchers will compare patients receiving a 400 ml oral carbohydrate-rich clear drink 2 hours before surgery (Group A) to those receiving 400 ml distilled water (Group B), to assess differences in recovery and comfort.
Participants will:
Be randomized into two equal groups (n=50 each) using a computer-generated randomization table
Receive standardized anesthesia and postoperative analgesia
