Nivel glucémico pre y post quirúrgico en pacientes diabéticos en Clínica Odontológica UCSG, Semestre B 2017.

Abstract

Introduction: A significant increase in the prevalence of DM worldwide has been found. Several authors claim that patients with this pathology have a risk of development after surgical procedures, because they do not have adequate control of perioperative control. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of diabetes with alterations in pre and post-surgical glucose levels. Materials and methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study is of longitudinal type was performed in 50 patients who attended the dental clinic of the UCSG, randomly selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. For the measurement of glucose levels, the Helen Murray glucose test method was used. The determination of the level of pain was established by the use of the visual-analog scale. Results: 50 people of both genders were analyzed: 28 men (56%) and 22 women (44%). When the results obtained were compared between preoperative and postoperative glycemia levels, (60%) were found in pre-operative and (32%) in Postoperative, in suboptimal (34%) in Preoperative and (54%) Postoperative, in high risk (6%) in Preoperative and (14%)Postoperative. When relating the level of pain with the patient's postoperative period, it was found that the subjects who did not experience pain were: optimal group (75%), mild pain was the suboptimal group (62.96%), moderate pain was the group of high risk (85.71%), and intense pain in the subjects of the high-risk group (14.29%). Conclusion: We found a growth in Postoperative glycemia levels in the suboptimal and high-risk range, concluding in this way that there is an increase in glucose levels in the postoperative stage.
