Prospective Study of Postoperative Glycemic Control with a Standardized Insulin Infusion Protocol after Infrainguinal Bypass and Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Postoperative hyperglycemia is common after INFRA bypass and OAAA repair and can be effectively ameliorated with an insulin infusion protocol. The protocol was low risk with reduced LOS and cost after INFRA bypass. Complications including SSI were not reduced in patients with optimal perioperative glycemic control.
