According to research, general anesthesia can impair the natural coordination between breathing and swallowing, increasing the risk of aspiration. This is one of several critical reasons why you should not drink water after surgery without your doctor's explicit clearance, and why fluids are reintroduced gradually under medical supervision.

Did you know that consuming a specialized carbohydrate-rich fluid before surgery as part of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol can help maintain energy stores and reduce post-operative complications? For athletes, preparing your body with a preload drink before an intense workout can similarly optimize hydration and performance, a topic that requires understanding its different applications.

Recent studies have shown that enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols can significantly shorten hospital stays and reduce postoperative complications. The preoperative phase of eras is foundational to this successful pathway, involving critical interventions and patient preparation.
