Abstrakt: This article, published in the Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, presents the findings of a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of etomidate and thiopentone on blood glucose levels in diabetic patients undergoing general anesthesia. The study found that there was no significant difference in blood glucose levels between the two groups up to 24 hours after induction of anesthesia. The authors suggest that the choice of anesthetic agents is important for glycemic control in diabetic patients, and although etomidate is commonly used for cardiovascular stability, its endocrine and metabolic effects in diabetic patients need further investigation. The study concludes that the induction of general anesthesia with etomidate does not affect blood sugar levels in diabetic patients compared to thiopentone. [Extracted from the article]
