Introduction:
Increased blood sugar levels in patients undergoing
surgery and anesthesia is one of the important problems
in perioperative management, so that the selection of
appropriate induction drugs is needed in patients with
hyperglycemia.
Objective:
This study aims to determine the comparison of
blood sugar levels when induced using a combination of
ketamine and propofol (ketofol) and single ketamine in
patients undergoing total intravenous general anesthesia
at H. Adam Malik General Hospital of Medan.
Method:
This research is an experimental study with double
blind. The study was conducted at the H. Adam Malik
General Hospital of Medan from June to July 2019. The
total sample obtained was 62, of which 31 samples were
given ketofol treatment, while the other 31 samples were
given ketamine treatment. The blood sugar level was
then measured at 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes after
induction. Data collection was done using questionaires
and blood sugar level sticks.
Results:
The mean value of blood sugar levels in the group
given ketamine increased compared to the group given
ketofol after observation for 5 minutes (T1) and 10
minutes (T2) but not significant, whereas in T3 (15
minutes) and T4 (20 minutes) a significant difference
was found.
Conclusion:
The combination of intravenous ketamine and
propofol (ketofol) and single ketamine only has an
influence on the blood sugar levels in patients
undergoing total intravenous general anesthesia, where
ketamine further increases blood sugar levels when
compared to ketofol.
