Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Preoperative 200ml of carbohydrate drink, Injection Tranexamic acid 1gm, Injection Dexamethasone 8mg.   Preoperative carbohydrate loading 2 hours before the surgery attenuates insulin resistance and catabolism. Promotes better glucose control and lean tissue preservation. Injection Tranexamic acid 1gm at the time of anesthesia induction can reduce the amount of blood loss during the surgery of faciomaxillary fracture fixation. Injection Dexamethasone 8mg at the time of anesthesia induction to tackle the postoperative pain and tissue edema which will further reflect the duration of stay in the hospital.  
Comparator Agent  Traditional hospital protocol  Standard perioperative care practices without the integration of ERAS guidelines.

Brief Summary  

ERAS protocols are well-established across various surgical fields but under-researched in faciomaxillary surgery. These fractures, affecting critical functions like breathing, eating, and speaking, require specialized care.

  1. Enhanced Recovery: ERAS can accelerate recovery for faciomaxillary fracture patients.
  2. Reduced Complications: Goal-directed fluid therapy and net-zero fluid balance minimize edema and fluid overload, crucial for faciomaxillary surgery.
  3. Improved Outcomes: Standardized perioperative care improves patient outcomes, reduces hospital stays, and enhances postoperative quality of life.
  4. Literature Gap: This study addresses the need for focused research on ERAS in faciomaxillary surgery to validate its benefits and establish best practices.

This study aims to develop and evaluate a tailored ERAS protocol for faciomaxillary fracture patients, assessing improvements in clinical outcomes and recovery.
