Tight Glycemic Control in Critical Care Patients

Tight Glycemic Control in Patients Hospitalized in a Medical-Surgery Intensive Care Unit: A Randomized Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 504 (planned)
• Sponsor: Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 15 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of tight control of serum glucose levels with an intensive insulin treatment in patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit with medical and surgical patients.

Detailed description

Reduction of morbidity-mortality in critical care patients with tight glycemic control had been proven in surgical patients only. Study Hypothesis: In critical care patients, medical or surgical, a glucose serum level between 80 - 110 mg/dL means a lower mortality than patients with glucose levels of more than 110 mg/dL.
