Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In recent years, the world of anesthesiology is questioning one of its great dogmas: Are so many hours of strict fasting necessary in patients who are candidates for elective surgeries? The main objective of our clinical trial will be demonstrate whether preoperative oral loading with hydrocarbonate beverages reduces the time of return of intestinal function in the postoperative period compared to water administration and strict fasting in patients undergoing elective radical cystectomy.
