Abstract
Changes in serum levels of corticotrophin (ACTH), immunoreactive beta-endorphin, antidiuretic hormone and cortisol were compared in children undergoing minor surgery under either general anaesthesia with halothane or epidural anaesthesia by the caudal route. A rapid and major increase in hormone levels was observed under general anaesthesia but not under epidural anaesthesia.Entities:
