Cesarean Section Complications
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal is to evaluate the glycemic and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing caesarean section in patients treated with maltodextrins two hours before the cesarean section
Detailed description
The patients undergoing elective cesarean section will be randomly divided in two groups: patients who drink 200 ml of clear liquid two hours before surgery or patients treated with 200 ml maltodextrins two hours before the surgery. The glycemic control will be done immediately before the maldodextrin administration and after the cesarean section by gluco stick. Standard hemodynamic monitoring ECG, Heart Rate, Blood pressure, Temperature, preipheral oxygen saturation will be done routinely.
