What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effect of implementing a preoperative nutrition education and fasting protocol prepared in accordance with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines during the 24-hour preoperative period on postoperative hydration status and the incidence of nausea and vomiting in patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty. Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed surgical procedure, particularly in older adults, and postoperative recovery may be negatively affected by surgical stress, anesthesia-related complications, dehydration, and postoperative nausea and vomiting.
