The stress response is due to a complex interplay between counter-regulatory hormones, cytokines, and changes in insulin sensitivity. Illness/infection, overfeeding, medications (e.g., corticosteroids), insufficient insulin, and/or volume depletion can be additional contributors. Acute hypergly...
متن کاملInfection control in the intensive care unit.
Nosocomial infections are common in many hospital departments, but particularly so on the intensive care unit, where they affect some 20 to 30% of patients. While early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are, of course, important, perhaps the greatest challenge is in the application of techniques to limit the development of such infections. This review will briefly discuss some of the backgrou...
متن کاملPilot study of the SPRINT glycemic control protocol in a Hungarian medical intensive care unit.
INTRODUCTION Stress-induced hyperglycemia increases morbidity and mortality. Tight control can reduce mortality but has proven difficult to achieve. The SPRINT (Specialized Relative Insulin and Nutrition Tables) protocol is the only protocol that reduced both mortality and hypoglycemia by modulating both insulin and nutrition, but it has not been tested in independent hospitals. METHODS SPRIN...

متن کاملCurrent state of glycemic control in critically ill subjects in a general intensive care unit
Critically ill patients are predisposed to stress-induced hyperglycemia. Recent evidence suggests that uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with poor outcomes within the population of surgical and medical intensive care units. We retrospectively audited our practice in the management of hyperglycemia in the critically ill, in order to identify reasons and periods of time that deviations in ...
