Abstract
In cardiac surgical patients with a preinduction glucose above 110 mg/dL, even if diabetes was not previously suspected, perioperative insulin requirements were higher, and intraoperative insulin management is more difficult than in those with a preinduction glucose 110 mg/dL or lower. Preinduction glycemia and BMI are good predictors of perioperative insulin management. Preinduction glycemia above 110 mg/dL predicts difficult perioperative glucose control and, moreover, that a preinduction blood glucose of 110 mg/dL or lower is associated with less insulin need.
