Abstract: Objective To investigate the carbohydrate metabolism during selective posterior rhizotomy (PCR) at lumbar and sacral regions on cerebral palsy children (CPC).Methods62 CPC who received SPR at lumbar and sacral regions under combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia were tested with the level of glucose (Glu) in plasma at different time during the operation.Results and ConclusionThere is no significant difference of Glu at different time during the operation, however, the Glu level shows an elevating trend at 3 and 10 minutes after posterior root electric stimulation.

Key words: cerebral palsy, selective posterior rhizotomy, posterior root electric stimulation, glucose
