Abstract
The effect of 3 ml·kg-1 of apple juice given 2.6 ± 0.4 hours preoperatively was investigated in 80 healthy children of ages five to ten years in this prospective, randomized, single blind study. The children who drank apple juice preoperatively had decreased gastric volume, thirst, and hunger (p < 0.05). The gastric volume in the control group was 0.43 ± 0.46 ml·kg-1 and in the patients who received apple juice the gastric volume was 0.24 ± 0.31 ml·kg-1. The gastric pH was not significantly different, with the control group’s gastric pH being 1.7 ± 0.6 and the treated group’s pH was 2.2 ± 1.2. Further studies of the effects of different volumes and timing of preoperative clear fluids are indicated in paediatric patients. Nous avons entrepris une étude prospective, randomisée et à ľaveugle pour déterminer ľeffet de 3 ml· kg-1 de jus de pomme donné 2.6 ± 0.4 h. avant ľopération à 80 enfants agés de 5 à 10 ans. Les enfants qui avaient bu du jus avant ľopération avaient moins faim et soif et leurs volumes gastriques étaient moindres (p < 0.05). Le volume gastrique était de 0.43 ± 0.46 ml · kg-1 chez le groupe contrôle, et de 0.24 ± 0.31 ml · kg-1 chez le groupe “jus de pomm”. Le pH du liquide se chiffrait à 1.7 ± 0.6 pour les contrôles et à 2.2 ± 1.2 pour les buveurs de jus, écart non significatif. On aura besoin ďautres études pour préciser ľimpact du volume et de ľintervalle ďadministration des liquides clairs chez les enfants.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
