Preoperative Oral Hydration for Ambulatory Arthroplasty

This study is looking at whether drinking a complex carbohydrate drink before same-day (ambulatory) hip or knee replacement surgery can help you go home sooner. Researchers want to see if this drink, given three hours before surgery, can reduce the time you spend in the hospital and prevent issues that might keep you from going home as planned. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 75 years old, having a total knee or hip replacement, or a minor revision of these surgeries, and your surgery is scheduled before noon. You also need to agree to go home the same day and have an adult to help you overnight. The main goal is to measure how long you stay in the hospital, from admission to discharge, up to one week. The current status of this study is unclear.
