Changes in blood glucose concentrations over time when administering intravenous insulin in post cardiac surgery in adult intensive care patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are treated with intravenous (IV) insulin by infusions with the goal of maintaining blood glucose (BG) within a narrow target range. However, as BG is measured intermittently and how the time course of BG concentration changes after altering the insulin infusion rate is unknown. We used an intra-arterial Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system to study the time course of BG concentrations after changes in IV insulin infusion rates.

BACKGROUND Poor perioperative glycemic control increases risk of infection, cardiovascular accidents and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. Tight glycemic control by insulin therapy is known to yield better outcomes in such patients. Intravenous (IV) insulin therapy with or without adjunctive subcutaneous insulin therapy is the mainstay of managing hyperglycemia in perioperative period. ...

OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia worsens clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Precise glycemia control using intravenous insulin improves outcomes. To determine if we could improve glycemia control over a previous paper-based, manual protocol, authors implemented, in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU), an intravenous insulin protocol integrated into a care provider order entry (CPOE) system....

متن کاملModulation of post-operative insulin resistance by pre-operative carbohydrate loading.
Insulin resistance develops as a response to virtually all types of surgical stress. There is an increasing body of evidence that suggests that insulin resistance in surgical stress is not beneficial for outcome. A recent large study in intensive-care patients showed that aggressive treatment of insulin resistance using intravenous insulin reduced mortality and morbidity substantially. Similarl...
