title: [Circadian rhythm in response to surgery and postoperative complications in childhood (author's transl)].
abstract: The influence of operation and post-op. course on the circadian periodicity was examined in 27 children. The parameters chosen were heart-rate, respiratory rate, blood-pressure and temperature. Measurements were taken over 6.1 days on average, of which 5.1 days were post-op. 5-minute values were used in the evaluation. It could be proved that the circadian periodicity is disturbed by the operation. Resumption depended on the gravity of the operation, and on the further clinical course. Studies of the circadian periodicity may provide a contribution to research on operation-trauma.
