Abstract
Changes in serum levels of ACTH, immunoreactive .beta.-endorphin, antidiuretic hormone and cortisol were compared in children undergoing minor surgery under either general anesthesia with halothane or epidural anesthesia by the caudal route. A rapid and major increase in hormone levels was observed under general anesthesia but not under epidural anesthesia.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
