PG - 29-34 LID - 10.1007/s00540-023-03269-2 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: What to intake during labor is controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the gastric emptying of high-energy semifluid solid beverage (HESSB) versus that of carbohydrate (CHO) solution of equal calories and volume by evaluating the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA) using ultrasonography in parturients during labor at term. METHODS: The study was conducted at a maternity and infant hospital between June and October 2020. Forty parturients scheduled for epidural labor analgesia during labor at term were randomly assigned to receive HESSB (300 mL, n = 20) or CHO (300 mL, n = 20). Gastric antral CSA was measured at baseline and 5, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after consumption of the drink. The primary outcome was gastric antral CSA at 120 min in the HESSB group and CHO group. RESULTS: The gastric antral CSA between the HESSB group and CHO group at 120 min was not statistically significant (2.73 cm(2) +/- 0.55 vs. 2.55 cm(2) +/- 0.72, P = 0.061). All patients returned to baseline at 120 min after intake of 300 mL isocaloric HESSB and CHO, confirmed by evaluation of gastric antral CSA. The visual analog scale score for satiety was higher in the HESSB group (P < 0.001), with better taste satisfaction (7[5-8] vs. 5[4-6], P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The change of gastric antral cross-sectional area after HESSB is similar to the corresponding calories and volume of CHO and the gastric emptying of HESSB can be emptied within 2 h with better taste satisfaction and satiety in pregnant women under labor analgesia.
