| Abstract |
|
The recovery time of the blood glucose level after anesthetic and surgical stress in 30 surgical pediatric patients with A.S,A. physical status class 1 or 2 was evaluated Although they had fasted from 4 to ll hours, none of the patients exhibited hypoglycemia, dehydration or hypotension; This showed that the duration of fasting, age, body weight, and sex did not influence hypoglycemia, dehydration. and hypotension. All patients were anesthetized with Halothane(0.5~1.5 Vol. %)-N2O(1.5L/min) under endotracheal intubation. Just after surgical stimulus, the blood glucose concentration increased about 27mg%, and then returned to pre-operative values within 30 minutes. The author concluded that the hormonal effects arising from the strong stimuli disappeared within 30 minutes. Also, the increase in blood glucoee concentration during intraabdominal surgery was more notable than in surgery to the skin, head or neck. Changes in blood glucose concentration in the recovery room are poasibly related to postoperative pain control. |
