Reducing glycemic variability in intensive care unit patients: a new therapeutic target?
Acute hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients. Strict control of blood glucose (BG) concentration has been considered important because hyperglycemia is associated independently with increased intensive care unit mortality. After intensive insulin therapy was reported to reduce mortality in selected surgical critically ill patients, lowering of BG levels was recommended as a means of...
متن کاملMicrobial colonization of endotracheal tube in intensive care unit patients
Microbial biofilms has remained a major complication of tracheal intubation in patients requiring ventilator equipment. The aim of this study was to characterize bacterial and fungal biofilms in endotracheal tubes from intensive care unit (ICU) patients in Ahwaz, Iran. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, patients admitted to ICU that required mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours ...
متن کاملGlycemic variability as a risk factor of intensive care unit-acquired weakness
Introduction Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a serious complication associated with loss of muscle mass and strength, metabolic disorders, organ failure, failure to wean, and increased mortality. ICUAW is diagnosed via MRC scores, and electrophysiological examinations (EP) can detect muscle excitability disorders associated with ICUAW (1). While uncontrolled hyperglycemia and/o...
متن کاملGlycemic control in the medical intensive care unit.
Hyperglycemia in the critically ill is a well-known phenomenon, even in those without known diabetes. 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 کاملThe glucogram: A new quantitative tool for glycemic analysis in the surgical intensive care unit
BACKGROUND Glycemic control is an important aspect of patient care in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). This is a pilot study of a novel glycemic analysis tool - the glucogram. We hypothesize that the glucogram may be helpful in quantifying the clinical significance of acute hyperglycemic states (AHS) and in describing glycemic variability (GV) in critically ill patients. MATERIALS AND...
