Abstract :
Surgical wound infection is one type of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs)
that causes postoperative morbidity. 50% of ILO occurs at the age of 25-40 years.
WHO states that surgical cases are a public health problem. Every anesthetic and
surgery performed will result in a stress which can be in the form of psychological
stress, anesthetic stress and surgical stress. The body's response to surgical stress
shows a certain pattern that is central, peripheral and immunological, resulting in
increased levels of the hormones norepinephrine, epinephrine, glucagon and
cortisol (Mafazi, 2011). The long-lasting stress response causes these hormones to
work synergistically to increase the process of gluconeogenesis and reduce
glucose uptake in cells, causing hyperglycemia (Singh, 2003). The purpose of this
study was to determine the difference in blood sugar levels during pre and
postoperative patientsThis research method is an observational analytic study with
a cross sectional approach. The research was conducted in the clinical laboratory
of Prof. Orthopedic Hospital. DR.R. Soeharso Surakarta in April-May 2021.
The results of this study showed that the highest distribution was in male patients,
namely 39 patients (70.9%), the remaining 16 patients (29, 1%) were women.
There is a difference in the average blood sugar before and after surgery, namely
92.5 and 103.8.
There was a significant difference in blood sugar before and after surgery as
indicated by the value of p=0.00025, where p<0.05.
