First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving women a carbohydrate drink with added nitrates (from beet root extract) before open gynecological surgery can shorten their hospital stay. The idea is that the combination may reduce stress from surgery and improve recovery. About 90 women aged 18-60 will be randomly assigned to receive either the carbohydrate drink alone or with nitrates before their operation.
