About this study

This monocentric prospective randomized controlled pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative maltodextrin administration within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in pediatric surgical patients. Children aged 3 to 8 years undergoing elective day surgery will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a maltodextrin-containing clear liquid or a non-sugared clear liquid before surgery. The study will assess preoperative anxiety, patient compliance, parental anxiety, oxidative stress markers, postoperative feeding tolerance, and postoperative recovery outcomes.
