Summary

This trial tests whether giving children a carbohydrate drink before cardiac surgery can lower insulin resistance, a stress response that can complicate recovery. Children aged 2 to 16 scheduled for heart surgery will receive either a carbohydrate drink or plain water two hours before anesthesia. The study measures insulin resistance and blood sugar levels to see if the drink helps the body handle surgical stress better.
