Anaesthetic choice may modulate surgical hyperglycaemia; leaves open optimal regimens with modern agents pending prospective trials.
Does the type of surgery and anaesthetic technique affect the hyperglycaemic response in patients?
The hyperglycaemic response to surgery is proportional to surgical stress and can be modulated by the choice of anaesthetic induction and maintenance agents.
R. S. J. Clarke (1970) studied this question.
