(2011) Enhanced insulin sensitivity variability in the first 3 days of ICU stay: Implications for Tight Glycemic Control. Brussels, Belgium: 31st International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (31st ISICEM), 22-25 Mar 2011. 1pp.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/6396Effective tight glycemic control (TGC) can improve outcomes, particularly in cardiovascular surgery, but is difficult to achieve. Variability in insulin sensitivity/resistance resulting from the level and evolution of stress response, particularly early in a patient’s stay, can lead to hyperglycemia and variability, which are associated with mortality. This study quantifies the daily evolution of the variability of insulin sensitivity for cardiovascular surgical and all other ICU patients.enConference Contributions - OtherFields of Research::32 - Biomedical and clinical sciences::3202 - Clinical sciences::320208 - EndocrinologyFields of Research::32 - Biomedical and clinical sciences::3202 - Clinical sciences::320212 - Intensive care
