[Carbohydrate metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus under epidural anesthesia]
Abstract:
A certain effect of surgical intervention on glucose, insulin and cortisol content has been shown in patients without concomitant endocrine pathology operated on for urological and gynecological diseases under epidural anesthesia. At the same time rational manifestations of the adaptation mechanisms of carbohydrate metabolism were retained. The use of epidural anesthesia has demonstrated the lack of carbohydrate hypermetabolism excess in the intra- and postoperative periods in patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus. This makes the epidural anesthesia a method of choice during surgery in patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in the...
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
Overview of Carbohydrate Metabolism
Glucose transport into cells is facilitated by a family of transport proteins called GLUT (Glucose Transporters). GLUT4 is the primary glucose transporter for insulin-stimulated glucose...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
