Anaesthetic management of insulinoma. 1977

P Chari, and S K Pandit, and R N Kataria, and H Singh, and D K Baheti, and J Wig

The anaesthetic management of two cases of insulinoma treated by distal pancreatectomy is presented. Stress is laid on pre-operative and intra-operative glucose administration in sufficiently high quantity. Pre-operative corticosteroid therapy is better avoided. Dextrose infusion should be stopped soon after removal of the tumour to prevent excessive hyperglycemic response in the postoperative period. Methyoxyflurane was used because it tends to raise the blood sugar level. Pancuronium bromide was preferred because of the stable cardiovascular conditions it produces.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007516 Adenoma, Islet Cell A benign tumor of the pancreatic ISLET CELLS. Usually it involves the INSULIN-producing PANCREATIC BETA CELLS, as in INSULINOMA, resulting in HYPERINSULINISM.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
