The purpose of this study is to investigate the variation in blood glucose levels, hemodynamic effects and patient anxiety score during tooth extraction in type 2 diabetes mellitus with coronary disease patient under local anesthesia with lidocaine 2% with and without epinephrine.
This is a prospective randomized study including 70 diabetes with coronary disease patients that needed to be submitted to oral surgery. The study was double blind in relation to glycaemia measurements. Continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels for 24 hours was performed using the Minimed Continuous Monitoring System (CGMS, Medtronic). Patientes were randomized into two groups: 35 received 5.4 mL of 2% lidocaine and 35 received 5.4 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine. In addittion, hemodynamic effects (blood pressure and heart rate) and degree of anxiety were also evaluated.

varition in blood glucose levels during oral surgery with local anaesthesia (lidocaina and lidocaine with epinephrine)
To asses the blood glucose levels the Continuous monitoring system (MiniMed CGMS, Medtronic) was employed. The MiniMed monitor was installed in the morning of the day before the surgery and the patient went to home. The patient returned to the hospital for the surgery 24 hours later and the monitor was retired one hour after the end of the oral surgery.
Time frame: 24 hours
Hemodynamic effects during the surgery with local anesthetia (lidocaine and lidocaine with epinephrine)
Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressur and heart rate were recorded by automatic sphygmomanometer (Microlife APA-P00001) in four times: one hour before the surgery, five minutes before the surgery, after anesthesia injection and one hour after the surgery.
Time frame: almost 3 hours
