| Introduction & Objective: Adequate and proper hydration during
surgery is one of the duties of anesthesiologist. Based on the
different effects of dextrose–containing fluids and dextrose-free
fluids on the level of blood sugar, we decided to evaluate the
effects of these fluids on the blood sugar level after short-term
surgeries.
Materials & Methods: one hundred patients who were scheduled
for elective surgery were randomly divided into two comparable
groups and their blood sugar level were measured just before
anesthesia and one hour after operation. The first group were
hydrated with 1/3, 2/3 fluid and the second group with normal
saline or Ringer fluids. The data were analyzed by SPSS software
and student T-test.
Results: Blood sugar level of both groups were the same
before anesthesia but were increased after operation in both
groups (the range of blood sugar level were -18 to +54 in group
one and -18 to +30 in group two .Hyperglycemia was present after
operation in most patients of both groups but the difference
between two groups wasn't significant .
Conclusion: Dextrose-free fluids can be used during short-term
surgeries without any fear of hypoglycemia. |
