Study Summary

This research is being done to investigate if patients who receive a commonly used sedative drug, known as midazolam, are likely to have high blood sugar levels during the stressful period during and immediately after surgery. A sedative drug is used to relax a person without making them sleepy. This drug is also helpful in reducing the memory of the stressful experience before the anesthesiologists administers anesthesia. Everyone has glucose or sugar in their blood stream. This sugar gives energy to our organs to allow them to work. Since high blood sugar levels may be associated with complications like wound infections, the investigators research is being done to find if patients who receive a sedative medication prior to their surgical procedure have lower blood sugars during the surgery then a patient who does not receive the sedation. The investigators would like to know if the administration of this commonly used drug will help patients maintain a normal glucose level during a stressful period.

Primary Outcome

Non diabetic subjects undergoing hernia repair were randomized into 2 groups. Midazolam vs. placebo. Blood glucose level was monitored preoperatively and following induction of anesthesia at 30 minute intervals perioperatively, and after in the PACU at 30 minutes and 60 minutes following arrival. All readings were performed using the Abbott Freestyle Glucose Monitor.
