STUDY ON THE RELATION BETWEEN POST-OPERATIVE SERUM GLUCOSE LEVELS AND SEVERITY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING OPEN HEART SURGERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Hyperglycemia is frequently encounted in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass support. Post-operative hyperglycemia is associated with an increased mortality and morbidity in these patients.
Objectives: To investigate the relationship between post-operative blood glucose levels and severity in patients undergoing open heart surgery.
Patients and Methods: All patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited. Blood glucose levels were determined before, right after surgery and at 6am every day until discharge from the intensive care unit.
Results: Patients who had blood glucose above 140mg/dL right after surgery or in the first post-op day had significantly longer duration of ventilation and intensive care unit stay al well as increased number of vasoactive drugs used.
Conclusions: Hyperglycemia was associated with increased severity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass support.
