Doctors administer glucose to patients immediately after surgery to provide a quick source of energy and support metabolic needs during recovery. Surgery can stress the body, leading to increased energy demands and potential blood sugar fluctuations. Glucose helps stabilize blood sugar levels, prevents hypoglycemia, and supports healing processes. Additionally, it can aid in hydration when given in a dextrose solution.
