Excerpt

Since the initial Leuven studies, institutions have developed different insulin infusion protocols (IIP) to improve glycemic control in intensive care units (ICU) [1]. While most published IIP and guidelines mandate concurrent administration of nutrition support or dextrose infusion, our IIP does not require such practice [1, 2]. The objective of our study was to evaluate glycemic control in critically ill patients who had various levels of caloric intake during the first 96 h on the IIP. The study was presented in part as a poster at the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s 37th Critical Care Congress [3]. …
