The study of blood glucose level changes during general anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery

Background: Analgesia is meant to reduce the pain produced by surgery. To fulfil this requirement various drugs such as alcohol, opium, hashish and balladona have been used in the past by the Egyptians and Chinese for the control of pain during surgery when the anesthesia was not known. Glucose is a carbohydrate required for energy. During the process of metabolism of glucose the source storage come into play. Nervous influence, enzymatic action and hormonal involvement also have a significant role. Aim: The aim of the study was the study of blood glucose level changes during general anesthesia in patients under surgery. Materials and methods: The present study was done in the department of Anesthesiology during the year 2015-2016, 60 patients with age group of 25-65 years along with different sex distribution. Results: Regarding the anaesthesia group, there were 15 patients in the age group of 25-35 years and 36-45 years each.14 patients were in age group 46-55 years, while 16 patients in the age group of 56-65 years. Out of 60 patients 33 patients (55%) were male patients while remaining 27 patients (45%) were female patients. Conclusion: Present study showed that there is very highly significant rise in blood glucose level during the ether anesthesia while in case of relaxants there is only significant rise in blood glucose level.
