Some questions
• How common is Diabetes / Hyperglycemia in hospitalized patient ?
• Is Hyperglycemia Bad? • Is Normoglycemia Good? • What’s the pathophysiologic basis?• How is Tight Glycemic Control (TGC) achieved ?• What’s going on in ICU’s at UMMS? • Challenges in implementing TGC?• What’s going on in the PICU? • Anesthesia implications ?• Future directions?

Diabetes is common in Hospitals
• 9.5% of all hospital discharges, fourth most common co-morbid diagnosis in all discharges.
• 29% of cardiac surgery patients • 2-4 fold increase in rates of hospitalizations• Increases length of stay by 1-3 days
![Page 4: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Incidence of Hyperglycemia in ICU’s
• More than 80 to 90% of ICU patients will have a blood sugar > 126 mg/dl and approximately 60% will NOT BE KNOW DIABETICS
• 98.7% of 1548 patients BS > 110 mg/dl (Van den Berghe study, 2001)
![Page 5: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Is Hyperglycemia bad?
![Page 6: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Not really! by Conventional logic …
• Physiologically stress = Hyperglycemia
• Hyperglycemia = Marker of illness severity
• Not implicated in directly contributing to morbidity & mortality
• Largely ignored & untreated unless BS > ? 200 mg/dl
![Page 7: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Hyperglycemia in hospitalized pts
Umpierrez et al J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2002
• 2030 patients on general floor
• Prevalence: 38%
• 10 fold increased mortality (16% vs 1.7%) if BS > 126 mg/dl
• 2 fold Length of Stay
• Higher admission to ICU
• Increased infection risk
![Page 9: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Hyperglycemia & Acute MI Capes et al. Lancet. 2000
• Meta-analysis of 15 studies (BG >110 mg/dL with or without a prior diagnosis of diabetes
• increased in-hospital mortality
• Increased CHF
![Page 10: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Hyperglycemia in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Furnary, Circulation 1999 Zerr, Ann Thorac Surg 1997
• Hyperglycemia associated with increased– mortality – deep wound infections– overall infection
• Hyperglycemia, on postop day 1 & 2 = single most important predictor of serious infectious complications.
![Page 11: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Hyperglycemia & Stroke Capes et al, Stroke 2001Kiers et al, J Neuro Neurosurg Psych 1992
• Meta-analysis of 26 studies on stroke: Increased mortality levels in non-diabetics with hyperglycemia
• Stroke survivors: BS range 120-145 mg/dl: Worse functional recovery.
• Patients with known diabetes and/or newly-discovered hyperglycemia (>140 mg/dl) more severe strokes with greater mortality
![Page 12: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

High BS is Bad, Is Higher Bader?Krinsley, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2003
• 1,826 ICU patients
• direct and proportional correlation with BS
• BS range from < 100 to > 300: Mortality 10% to 43%
• Even modest hyperglycemia associated with a substantial increase in mortality in patients with a wide range of medical and surgical diagnoses
![Page 13: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Pregnancy & Hyperglycemia
• It is well-known that pregnancy complicated by uncontrolled diabetes results in poor fetal outcomes

• 314 to routine antidiabetic
• 3.5 year follow-up
• significantly reduced long-term mortality (33% vs. 44%)

Portland Diabetic ProjectFurnary et al. 2004, Endocr Pract
• 17-year prospective, NON randomized 4864 patients with diabetes + open-heart surgery
• Increasing BS levels directly associated with– death, – deep sternal wound infections (DSWI), – length of hospital stay (LOS), and – hospital cost.
• Continuous INSULIN, target BS < 150 mg/dL for 3- post op days, reduced …– death by 57% – DSWI by 66%, – (P<0.0001 for both)
![Page 28: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Connecticut StudyKrinsley JS: Mayo Clin Proc, 2004
• 800 patients from a medical surgical ICU• Target BS < 140 mg/dl• Mortality decreased 29% • LOS in ICU decreased 11%• Renal insufficiency diminished by 75%• Transfusions patients decreased by 19%• No increase in nurse staffing• No significant increase in hypoglycemia
occurred (0.35 vs. 0.34%).

Is it really true?
![Page 30: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Pathophysiologic Basis
![Page 31: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Detrimental effects of Hyperglycemia
• impairs immune function– neutrophil function is reduced, – complement binding is attenuated,– monocyte phagocytic function is
disrupted PMN defect
• proinflammatory & prothrombotic• cells membranes are altered
![Page 32: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Pathophysiologic basis for benefitsInsulin ..
• regulates vasomotor function and contractility of the myocardium
• stimulates nitric oxide production,
• improves endothelial function
• lowers cytokines
• improves protein balance and fat metabolism
![Page 33: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

So What’s the catch?
How tight is too tight?
![Page 35: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Hypoglycemia
![Page 36: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Hypoglycemia
• Incidence– Van den Berghe 0.05% vs 0.007%– Krinsley: 0.35 vs. 0.34%
• Prevention– abrupt interruption of Dextrose or continuous
feeds– monitoring
• Treatment• Risk-benefit ratio
![Page 37: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Implementing (TGC)
![Page 38: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
TGC: Principles
• Insulin: Intravenous & continuous
• BS monitoring: hourly at least initially
• Essentially Nurse-led
• Adjustment protocol based not prn
• … and then, no two protocols are like
![Page 39: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

40
Complexity & variability of Published Protocol
• Nine protocols reviewed • From 27 to 800 patients. • Target: 80-110 mg/dL, to 126-207 mg/dL• Titration: based only on current BS level, OR
current & previous BS, insulin sensitivity and concurrent nutrition.
• Insulin adjustments: Units or % of previous dose• BS checks: hourly, but varied in subsequent
frequency • Mean time to achieve target 2 to 15 hours. • Hypoglycemia threshold: from 40 to 70 mg/dl
![Page 41: Tight Glycemic Control: Implementation, the key to success](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/546c4380af7959d3168b64d9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
