    Author: Amponsah G.
    Journal: West Afr J Med; 1993; 12(2):89-92. PubMed ID: 8398938.
    Abstract:
    One hundred children admitted for various operations were studied to determine their blood sugar levels at the time of induction of anaesthesia. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to their age. In Group 1 were patients below one year, Group 2, 1-5 years, Group 3, 6-10 years and Group 4, above 10 years. The highest percentage of patients developing hypoglycaemia was found in Group 1 (65%) i.e. babies aged below 1 year and the lowest in Group 4 (25%) children aged 10 years and above.
