Background: A strategy of limited preoperative fasting, with carbohydrate (CHO) loading and intraoperative infusion of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ï?-3 PUFA), has seldom been tried in surgery. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical variables, mortality and effects on the metabolism and inflammation after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)/cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in combination, if preoperative fasts are curtailed in favor of CHO loading, and Ï?-3 PUFA are infused intraoperatively. Methods: Fifty-seven patients were randomly assigned to receive 12.5% maltodextrin (200ml, 2h before anesthesia), (CHO, n=14); water (200ml, 2h before anesthesia), (controls, n=14); 12.5% maltodextrin (200ml, 2h before anesthesia) plus intraoperative Ï?-3 PUFA (0.2g/kg) (CHO+W3, n=15); or water (200ml, 2h before anesthesia) plus intraoperative Ï?-3 PUFA (0.2g/kg) (W3, n=14). Insulin resistance and glucose control were analyzed. Results: Two deaths occurred (3.5%), but there were no instances of bronchoaspiration and mediastinitis. Patients given preoperative CHO loads experienced fewer instances of hospital infection (P<0.05) and were less reliant on vasoactive amines during surgery (RR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.38-0.94; P=0.020), and while recovering in ICU (P=0.008). Groups given Ï?-3 PUFA experienced significantly fewer instances of POAF (RR=4.83, 95% CI: 1.56-15.02; P=0.001). Patients given preoperative CHO loads also got better glycemic control in ICU (P=0.015) and less need for exogenous insulin (P=0.018). Patients in the W3 Group presented lower values of the ultrasensitive CRP with 36 h of PO (P=0.008). Conclusion: When implemented in conjunction with CHO loading and infusion of Ï?-3 PUFA during surgery, expedited recovery from CABG was observed.
