Summary
This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate drink (like apple juice) before jaw surgery can reduce nausea and vomiting afterward. Researchers will compare 32 patients who get the drink with those who don't, measuring nausea intensity and recovery. The goal is to see if this simple step improves comfort and shortens hospital stays.
