Comparison of Changes in Blood Glucose Levels in Spinal versus General Anaesthesia in Patients Undergoing Infraumbilical Surgeries
Abstract: The aim of the study was to carry out the comparative study of variations in blood glucose levels intra operatively in patients undergoing infraumbilical surgeries under Spinal Anaesthesia and General Anaesthesia by capillary blood glucose level. Objective: To compare intra operative blood glucose level in Spinal and General Anaesthesia. Methodology: Seventy two non diabetic patients (36 in each group) aged between 18-60 years belonging to ASA I and ASA II status were enrolled for this prospective comparative study. Capillary blood glucose was measured preoperatively, at 30 minutes post induction, at the end of surgery and 60 minutes post operatively in Spinal Anaesthesia and General Anaesthesia. For statistical analysis paired sample t-test was used for comparing mean of quantitative data. Difference was considered statistically significant if p
