Preoperative hemogram and biochemistry values of patients undergoing oral and dental surgical operations under local anesthesia
Öz
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the preoperative hemogram and biochemistry values of patients who undergo oral and dental surgical operations under local anesthesia.
Materials and Methods: The study included 1598 patients who visited the Faculty of Dentistry at Adıyaman University. The patients’ demographic information as age and sex and biochemistry values as blood glucose level (BGL), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gama-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT), sodium (Na), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) and hemogram values as white blood cell count (WBC), Hemoglobin (HGB), Hematocrit (HCT) and Platelet count (PLT) were recorded and statistically analyzed.
Results: There were abnormal values outside the normal limits in all hemogram and biochemical values that were examined. Among these, high values of BGL, AST, ALT, GGT and WBC and low values of Na, Ca, HGB and HCT were more frequent. When the values measured outside the reference ranges were examined in terms of sex, it was seen that the GGT values were significantly higher in the men, while the HGB and PLT values were significantly higher in the women. The abnormal values were distributed significantly more among the age group of 21-40.
Conclusion: In patients from whom detailed medical anamnesis is not collected, it is believed that taking hemogram and biochemical tests before oral surgical procedures is important in terms of elimination of negative issues that may arise.
