High levels of glucose are associated with an increase in perioperative mortality. There is a large amount of evidence indicating a correlation between elevated blood glucose levels during the perioperative period and inadequate clinical progression An observational, prospective, longitudinal, monocentric study was conducted. It took place at the General Hospital of Zone 20 in Puebla from March 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024. Adult patients men and women who underwent scheduled surgeries in this hospital were included. A sample of 45 patients was collected with an average age of 53.82 years ±13.35 standard deviation; of which 31 were women representing 68.88% and 14 men representing 31.11%, of whom 8 had post-anesthetic complications in the post-anesthesia care unit; of which: 6.7% had hypotension, 4.4% presented postoperative tremors and airway obstruction, and 2.2% presented nausea and vomiting postoperatively.
