Not for those underweight/overweight, forced into ambulatory surgery by insurance, pregnant, diabetic, with kidney disease/clotting/neurological issues affecting limb control, heart problems, sleep apnea, opioid dependence or poor kidney function.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if drinking a complex carbohydrate drink before surgery can help patients go home sooner after ambulatory total joint arthroplasty without complications that would prevent them from leaving ('failure to launch').See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a nutritional drink rather than medication, side effects may be minimal but could include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions in rare cases.
