Efficacy and Safety of an Insulin Infusion Protocol in a Surgical ICU (original) (raw)
2006, Journal of the American College of Surgeons
AI-generated Abstract
Implementation of a nurse-driven insulin infusion protocol in a surgical ICU effectively reduced blood glucose (BG) levels compared to physician-driven management. The protocol demonstrated a significant decrease in the time required to achieve target BG levels, with comparable rates of hypoglycemia across both approaches. Results indicate that tight glycemic control can be achieved without significantly increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia.
