Protocol-directed insulin infusion sliding scales improve perioperative hyperglycaemia in critical care
Perioperative hyperglycaemia is associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Frequent postoperative hyperglycaemia in cardiac surgery patients has led to the initiation of an insulin infusion sliding scale for quality improvement. A systematic review was conducted to determine whether a protocol-directed insulin infusion sliding scale is as safe and effective as a conve...

Pathophysiological stress from acute illness causes metabolic disturbance, including altered hepatic glucose metabolism, increased peripheral insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia. Acute hyperglycaemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients in intensive care units and patients with acute respiratory disease.

متن کاملHyperglycaemia and cancer risk
A recent Swedish prospective study on hyperglycaemia and cancer risk (1) showed an association with total cancer risk in women, and in women and men combined, for several cancer sites. The cancer incidence was compared with both fasting glucose and glucose 2 h after a 75 g glucose load. For women the relative total cancer risks for the top versus bottom quartiles were in the range of 1.3, i.e. ...
متن کاملHyperglycaemia in infantile gastroenteritis.
The prevalence and pathogenesis of hyperglycaemia were investigated in a consecutive series of 27 black infants admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis over a period of three months. Hyperglycaemia (plasma glucose concentration greater than 10 mmol/l) occurred in 15 (55%) of these patients. The pathogenesis was not clear but possible contributory factors included raised concentrations of the ...
متن کاملHyperglycaemia in infantile gastroenteritis
We read with interest the paper by Rabinowitz et al.' Our own impressions were at variance with his figures. To verify our views we analysed 33 cases of acute gastroenteritis treated within our hospital in the last six months. All patients admitted with acute gastroenteritis have urea and electrolytes determinations before treatment is started. In our laboratory, blood glucose estimation is per...
