Summary
The glucose-containing fluid was preferred for maintenance fluid in pediatric surgery to
prevent hypoglycemic events. This practice can lead to intraoperative hyperglycemia which can
induce osmotic diuresis and consequently dehydration and electrolyte disturbances.
As an anesthesiologist, the use of glucose-containing fluid should be reconsidered to avoid
these undesirable effects in pediatric surgery.
Our study aims to identify an appropriate use of 5% dextrose containing solution during
intraoperative period in children (2 age groups: 1-2 vs 3-5 years old) that can prevent
glucose and lipid mobilization without causing hypo/hyperglycemia and provide adequate fluid
maintenance in the context of hospitals in Thailand
