Intervention(s)
|
All patients with an expected appendicitis is asked for participation in the study. Also, parents are asked. The study period extends from inclusion to the end of the surgical procedure. Blood samples (3 ml) for the determination of blood gas (including sodium concentration), urea, osmolality, ketones, creatinine, cortisol, ADH, aldosterone and renin are taken at the emergency department by a specialist nurse (in addition to the routine samples) and at the end of surgery by a anaesthetic nurse. After induction of anesthesia a blood sample of blood gas and ketones (0,4 ml) is also taken. In addition, urine production is noted and samples are taken for the determination of osmolality, the concentrations of sodium, potassium, creatinine and urea. All the patients are fasted as part of the clinical routines. The volume of all given intravenous fluids during the study period are recorded. Hence the patients are given the normal clinical routines, the interventions are extra blood sampling and sampling from urine. The given fluid and the and the urine output are also recorded.
