INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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
