Abstract
- Hyperinsulinism caused by a functioning islet cell tumor of the pancreas is an uncommon but well established metabolic entity which can usually be diagnosed accurately. We treated a patient with functioning insulinoma recently. The outline of the particular management given for the course of the anesthesia of the patient was as follows: 1) Control of blood glucose a) pre- and intraoperative hypoglycemia; Glucose was administered through intravenous drip or orally. b) postoperative transient hyperglycemia; Insulin was administered if necessary and a small amount of glucose uptake, occurred. 2) Anesthetics, and supplemental drugs Drugs with no or little effect in increasing blood glucose were used. 3) Beta-adrenergic blockers These drugs were not used in the hypoglycemic state because of potentiating insulin activity.
