During starvation man undergoes a series of metabolic adaptations in order to derive energy from adipose tissue and to conserve as efficiently as possible his protein reserves. These are glucose exclusion from the majority of tissues, the Coricycle, and utilization of the ketoacid, thereby sparing glucose and, in turn, body protein. Therefore, this study for effects on the blood sugar level has a important role in the control of diabetic patients and even general healthy patients.
The influences of anaesthesia with different induction agents on the blood sugar level during surgery were investigated in eigty cases. Anaesthesia with thiopentone, diazepam, halothane, ketamine and propanidid was accompanied by the rise in blood sugar, although it was differed from the extend the statistical significance. The causes of a rise in blood sugar seem to be the emotional stress of being brought to the operating theatre and the stress of surgery. In the control of the rise in this blood sugar, one must do absolute psychic sadation, avoidance of anoxia and carbon dioxide retention, avoidance of severe surgical stress and adequate depth of anesthesia, thereby can limit the rise in blood sugar, due to occur stimulation of sympathetic nervous system.
