Key result
General anesthesia linked to a ~25% increase in blood sugar levels post-induction.
Why the study?
The influence of general anesthetic drugs on blood sugar level changes during surgery was investigated due to unclear effects at different operation times.
Does general anesthesia affect blood sugar levels at different times of operation in healthy patients undergoing surgery?
Observational (n=50)
Yes

General anesthesia causes a transient increase in blood sugar levels post-induction but shows no significant differences based on gender or age groups.
The present study was carried out on a period between December 2019 to February 2020 on 50 healthypatients, their ages ranged from eighteen to fifty years. They were 26 males and 24 females. These healthypatients were attending Baghdad Educational Hospital, Al-Harriri Hospital, and Al-Diwaniyah GeneralHospital in order to perform various surgeries. And after all tests are done. Then they were admitted to theoperating theater. In this study used the general anesthesia method. And they were given drugs of anesthesia,during each step; the values of blood sugar levels (Mg) were measured. Such as pre induction, postinduction, after incision, after fluid, and recovery. To know the effect of general anesthesia method on bloodsugar levels in different times of operation on gender and age groups.This study showed that total numbers of patients were 50 including males about 26 (52.0%) and femalesabout 24(48.0%), their age of all individuals ranged from less than 20 years old (<20-29) which numberand percentage 22,44.0% to 50 years old 7 (14.0%). Also there are no significant difference was observedin the blood sugar levels changes (Mg) in both males and females (gender) before and after the operationor surgery, also no found any differences between blood sugar levels changes (Mg) at the age groups andthe general anesthesia method, after and before the operation in different times of surgery. So in this studysummarized the mean and stander deviation values according to the levels of blood sugar (Mg) amongdifferent times of surgery, and then show the mean of pre induction period about 83.84, While mean ofvalues of blood sugar at post induction time at general anesthesia method about 104.94.Aims and Objectives: This study was investigated the influence of general anesthetic drugs that effect onthe blood sugar level changes of patients with surgery. This was done with the following objectives:• To administer general anesthesia by using a different combination of drugs.• To assess and compare the blood sugar level changes of the patients at different time intervals.• Complications, if any were observed and noted on patients at different time intervals.

Khamis et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Elective surgery (n=50). General anesthesia vs. Pre-induction baseline was evaluated on Blood sugar level (mg/dL) at post-induction compared to pre-induction (p=<0.01). General anesthesia significantly increased blood sugar levels from a pre-induction mean of 83.84 mg/dL to a post-induction mean of 104.94 mg/dL (p<0.01), with further increases observed during the course of surgery.
