This study was carried out to determine the effect of blood sugar level in patients undergoing different operative procedures. Significant fall in blood sugar level has been found in children below the age of 3 years when they were kept fasting for more than 6 hours. Similar study in adults did not show any appreciable fall in blood sugar level with overnight fasting of more than 12 hours. It is concluded that children below the age of 3 years undergoing any operative procedure should not be kept fasting for more than 4 hours.
本研究旨在确定不同手术操作患者的血糖水平影响。已发现3岁以下儿童禁食超过6小时时血糖水平显著下降。对成年人进行的类似研究表明，禁食超过12小时过夜，血糖水平没有明显下降。结论是，3岁以下接受任何手术操作的儿童禁食时间不应超过4小时。
