Prognostic Significance of Initial Blood Glucose Level in Near-Drowning
|

Abstract
|
|
|
To validate the prognostic significance of initial blood glucose level in near-drowning, we have researched the relationship between initial blood glucose level and complications of 21 patients under 15 years with near-drowning, who admitted to
the
Department of Pediatrics, Chungnam National University Hospital from Jan. 1985 to Dec. 1992.
@ES The results were as follows;
1) In distribution of sex, male was 15 cases and female was 6 cases and male to female ratio was 2.5:1.
2) The most common age group of incidence was under 3 years(8 cases:38.0%)
3) The most common season of incidence was summer(16 cases:76.0%)
4) The mean blood glucose level of subjects was 198mg/dl.
5) The group of prolonged period of submersion was significantly higher initial blood glucose level than short period of submersion.
6) The initial blood glucose level of patients with complications(224.30mg/dl) was significantly higer than patients without complications(157.25mg/dl).
The results suggest that initial blood glucose level is one of the important prognostic predictor of near drowning patients.
