Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

After obtaining approval from the Departmental Postgraduate Research Monitoring Committee (PGRMC) and Institute Ethics Committee (IEC), children below 5 years of age scheduled for elective cleft lip and/or palate surgery will be recruited for this study. Parental written consent will be taken during the preoperative assessment one day prior to scheduled elective surgery. Demographic details (name, age, gender, weight, place of residence, hospital number and diagnosis) will be recorded. General nutritional status (height, weight, mid-arm circumference) will be assessed. In addition, baseline haemoglobin and random capillary blood glucose levels will be recorded preoperatively.

On the day before the surgery, parents will receive a pictographic pamphlet representing standard pediatric preoperative fasting guidelines viz 8 hours for solids, 6 hours for non-human formula milk, 4 hours for breast milk and 2 hours for clear fluids. Parents will be explained the fasting orders in their own native language and instructed to record the last feeding time. Random capillary blood glucose level  assessment will be done using a glucometer  and the data obtained will be documented. Premedication will be given at the discretion of the attending consultant.

 

On the day of surgery, upon arrival in the operation theatre, the accompanying nurse and parents will be interviewed in the preoperative holding area regarding the time and quantity of the child last solid and liquid intake, and the pamphlet will be collected. If there is evidence of deviation from standard preoperative guidelines (instructions given), the cause behind the deviation will be recorded.

 

In the operation theatre, after induction of anaesthesia, capillary blood glucose level will be recorded using the same glucometer and ketone bodies will be recorded by ketone meter. Low blood glucose is defined as blood glucose value less than 70mg/dl.  Hypoglycemia is defined as blood glucose less than 60 mg/ dl; if present, it will be treated as per standard treatment protocol (administration of 10% dextrose 2ml/kg ). Blood glucose will be checked after 15 minutes and once the blood glucose attains normal level, surgery will be initiated. Ketosis is defined as a blood ketone body level of more than 0.6 mmol/L; if present, dextrose 1% along with normal saline will be given throughout the intraoperative period.

Following parameters will be assessed:
Age 
sex 
height 
weight 
mean fasting duration 
fasting duration for solid / formula feeds 
fasting duration for breast milk 
fasting duration for clear liquid 
Blood glucose levels 
Blood ketone bodies level
deviation from the recommended duration 
association between preoperative fasting duration and capillary blood glucose levels 
association between compliance with standard preoperative fasting guidelines and capillary blood glucose levels
reasons for deviation 
hemodynamic parameters
