Background: Neuraxial anesthesia benefits patients' recovery in a number of ways. When neuraxial blockade is employed, meta-analysis has demonstrated statistically significant decreases in intraoperative blood loss, length of surgery, and occurrences of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.This study was conducted to assess the comparison of spinal anaesthesia versus general anaesthesia on blood glucose concentration in patients undergoing elective caesarean section surgery. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients scheduled to undergo caesarean section were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients was obtained. All the patients were randomly divided into two study groups with 30 patients in each group as follows: Spinal anaesthesia group and General anesthesia group. Blood glucose concentration was recorded in all the patients at four different time intervals: 5 minutes before induction and 5 minutes after induction in general anesthesia group while 5 mins before and 5 mins after injection of local anesthetic solution in spinal anesthesia group, 5 minutes before the end of surgery and 30 minutes after the end of surgery. All the values were compared using SPSS software. Results:In this study, the mean duration of spinal and general anaesthesia 5 minutes before induction was 69.4 as well as 66.5 minutes, respectively. The mean duration of spinal and general anaesthesia 5 minutes after induction was 69.9 as well as 72.1 minutes, respectively. The mean duration of spinal and general anaesthesia 5 minutes before the end of surgery was 84.4 as well as 89.5 minutes, respectively. The mean duration of spinal and general anaesthesia 30 minutes after the end of surgery was 74.7 as well as 115.6 minutes, respectively. Conclusion:When under spinal anesthesia as opposed to general anesthesia, the rise in blood glucose level is substantially smaller. It makes sense to recommend that individuals under general anesthesia have their blood sugar levels checked during the procedure.
