CLINICAL PRACTICE Glycaemic control in the perioperative period

چکیده
Editor’s key points † Diabetes mellitus and other disorders of blood glucose regulation are common in perioperative patients. † The optimal management of perioperative dysglycaemia has been shown to improve perioperative outcomes. † Guidelines and recommendations aid in the diagnosis and management of perioperative abnormalities in glucose homeostasis. Summary. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and the potential for perioperative dysglycaemia (hyperglycaemia, hypoglycaemia, stress-induced hyperglycaemia, or glucose variability) continue to increase dramatically. The majority of investigations on perioperative glycaemic control focused on critically ill patients and concentrated on goals of therapy, level of intensity of insulin infusion, feeding regimes, concerns over hypoglycaemia, and promulgation of recent guidelines calling for less strict glucose control. Areas of perioperative glycaemic control that deserve further investigation include preoperative identification of patients with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and other forms of dysglycaemia, determination of appropriate intraoperative glucose goals, and establishment of the impact and natural history of perioperative abnormalities in glucose homeostasis. In the heterogeneous adult perioperative population, it is unlikely that one standard of perioperative glycaemic control is appropriate for all patients. This review presents recent evidence and expert guidance to aid preoperative assessment, intraoperative management, and postoperative care of the dysglycaemic adult patient.

متن کاملThe impact of glycaemic variability on the surgical patient.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetes is the most prevalent long-term metabolic condition and its incidence continues to increase unabated. Patients with diabetes are overrepresented in the surgical population. It has been well recognized that poor perioperative diabetes control is associated with poor surgical outcomes. The outcomes are worst for those people who were not recognized as having hyperglycae...
متن کاملClinical benefits of tight glycaemic control: focus on the perioperative setting.
The benefits of tight glycaemic control (TGC) were first shown in cardiac surgical patients with diabetes. These concepts migrated to other surgical and medical specialties through intensive care units caring for a variety of patients with a variety of disease states Although some disagreement and controversy surrounds the use of TGC in the medical population, the benefits of this therapy ir th...
متن کاملEarlier intervention in type 2 diabetes: the case for achieving early and sustained glycaemic control.
In type 2 diabetes, the onset and progression of complications is significantly delayed by improving glycaemic control. However, the proportion of patients reaching and sustaining guideline recommendations for glycaemic targets remains unacceptably low. Recent clinical trials and predictive physiologically based mathematical simulations (Archimedes model) indicate that benefits can be enhanced ...
