Kurtoglu P, Iyigun E, Sonmez A, Can MF. Effects of Perioperative Glycemic Management Protocol on Glycemic Outcomes of Type 2 Diabetic Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study. J Perianesth Nurs 2024:S1089-9472(24)00087-X. [PMID: 38904600 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2024.02.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to reveal the effects of a glycemic control protocol directed by nurses during the perioperative period on glycemic outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. DESIGN This was a prospective cohort study METHODS: The study was conducted at the Department of General Surgery of a research and training hospital in Turkey. The study included 47 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent elective major abdominal surgery between September 2017 and December 2018. The number of patients in the intervention and the control groups was 22 and 25, respectively. Routine clinical glycemic control was implemented in the control group, whereas a glycemic management protocol developed by a multidisciplinary team was implemented in the intervention group. We collected data on the control group first, followed by the introduction of the glycemic management protocol to clinical staff and glycemia data collection using the new protocol. Blood glucose (BG) levels in patients and the factors that may affect BG were measured in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Data on glycemic control was also collected. Furthermore, we measured the satisfaction of the nurses implementing the glycemic management protocol. FINDINGS The rate of hyperglycemia in intensive care unit was 21% in the intervention group and 59% in the control group (P < .05). Time spent in the target BG range during insulin infusion was 76% in the intervention group and 35% in the control group (P < .05). The time required to achieve target BG range during insulin infusion was 6 hours for the intervention group and 15 hours for the control group, indicating that less time was required to achieve the target BG range in the intervention group (P < .05). Moreover, the insulin consumption rate in the intensive care unit was lower in the intervention group (P < .05). The satisfaction levels of the nurses that used the glycemic management protocol was 92.61 ± 7.93%. CONCLUSIONS Results of this study showed that the implementation of a glycemic management protocol by nurses for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery decreases the rate of hyperglycemia, insulin consumption rate, and the time required to achieve the targeted BG range during the perioperative period. Therefore, it is recommended to use a glycemia management protocol to control glycemia in patients during the surgical process.

Abstract
PURPOSE Perioperative hyperglycemia is associated with adverse outcomes for patients with and without diabetes. Guidelines and published protocols for intraoperative glycemic management have substantial variation in their recommendations. We sought to characterize the current evidence-guiding intraoperative glycemic management in a scoping review. SOURCES Our search strategy included MEDLINE (Ovid and EBSCO), PubMed, PubMed Central, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, SciVerse Scopus, and Web of Science and a gray literature search of Google, Google Scholar, hand searching of the reference lists of included articles, OAISter, institutional protocols, and ClinicalTrails.gov. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We identified 41 articles that met our inclusion criteria, 24 of which were original research studies. Outcomes and exposures were defined heterogeneously across studies, which limited comparison and synthesis. Investigators often created arbitrary and differing categories of glucose values rather than analyzing glucose as a continuous variable, which limited our ability to combine results from different studies. In addition, the study populations and surgery types also varied considerably, with few studies performed during day surgeries and specific surgical disciplines. Study populations often included more than one type of surgery, indication, and urgency that were expected to have varying physiologic and inflammatory responses. Combining low- and high-risk patients in the same study population may obscure the harms or benefits of intraoperative glycemic management for high-risk procedures or patients. CONCLUSION Future studies examining intraoperative glycemic management should carefully consider the study population, surgical characteristics, and pre- and postoperative management of hyperglycemia.

Evaluating the Utilization of a Perioperative Hyperglycemic Protocol: A Quality Improvement Project. J Perianesth Nurs 2022:S1089-9472(22)00517-2. [PMID: 36529630 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2022.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this project to evaluate adherence to the perioperative hyperglycemic protocol among Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) at a large academic hospital. A secondary objective of this project is CRNAs' perceptions of barriers to point-of-care (POC) testing and the protocol. DESIGN A quality improvement project. METHODS Using Donabedian's conceptual framework, a Phase 1 retrospective chart analysis of 297 patients with diabetes undergoing noncardiac surgery before and after implementing POC testing for intraoperative glucose control was performed. Only patients with preoperative BG ≥ 180 mg/dL were included in this phase of the project, which involved a comparison of the protocol utilization before and after implementation of POC testing. Phase 2 included an assessment of CRNA's perceptions of the protocol. FINDINGS The final sample included 91 (37 preimplementation; 54 postimplementation) participants. There were no significant demographic differences between the groups. Overall, 52.7% of patients had intraoperative glucose checks, and only 16.5% received insulin. Preoperative BG levels decreased 11.4-points, and postoperative BG levels increased 20.4 points when comparing pre- and postimplementation groups. However, there were significant differences in postoperative glucose levels, pre- and postimplementation. The survey showed that the majority (65.5%) of CRNAs identified difficulty locating the protocol as the primary barrier to utilization. CONCLUSIONS Although all patients included in this project qualified for an intraoperative glucose check, findings revealed that only half of the patients had a glucose check and less than one fifth of the patients received insulin treatment, indicating poor adherence to the protocol. Thus, while implementing protocols is essential, utilization and adherence to the protocol are critical to improving patient outcomes. Recommendations for continued improvement include increasing protocol accessibility, staff training, compliance monitoring, and a more simple protocol structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult patients with diabetes or newly recognized hyperglycemia account for over 30% of noncritically ill hospitalized patients. These patients are at increased risk for adverse clinical outcomes in the absence of defined approaches to glycemic management. OBJECTIVE To review and update the 2012 Management of Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized Patients in Non-Critical Care Settings: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline and to address emerging areas specific to the target population of noncritically ill hospitalized patients with diabetes or newly recognized or stress-induced hyperglycemia. METHODS A multidisciplinary panel of clinician experts, together with a patient representative and experts in systematic reviews and guideline development, identified and prioritized 10 clinical questions related to inpatient management of patients with diabetes and/or hyperglycemia. The systematic reviews queried electronic databases for studies relevant to the selected questions. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology was used to assess the certainty of evidence and make recommendations. RESULTS The panel agreed on 10 frequently encountered areas specific to glycemic management in the hospital for which 15 recommendations were made. The guideline includes conditional recommendations for hospital use of emerging diabetes technologies including continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy; insulin regimens for prandial insulin dosing, glucocorticoid, and enteral nutrition-associated hyperglycemia; and use of noninsulin therapies. Recommendations were also made for issues relating to preoperative glycemic measures, appropriate use of correctional insulin, and diabetes self-management education in the hospital. A conditional recommendation was made against preoperative use of caloric beverages in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSION The recommendations are based on the consideration of important outcomes, practicality, feasibility, and patient values and preferences. These recommendations can be used to inform system improvement and clinical practice for this frequently encountered inpatient population.

Abstract
CONTEXT Individuals with diabetes or newly recognized hyperglycemia account for over 30% of noncritically ill hospitalized patients. Management of hyperglycemia in these patients is challenging. OBJECTIVE To support development of the Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline for management of hyperglycemia in adults hospitalized for noncritical illness or undergoing elective surgical procedures. METHODS We searched several databases for studies addressing 10 questions provided by a guideline panel from the Endocrine Society. Meta-analysis was conducted when feasible. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology was used to assess certainty of evidence. RESULTS We included 94 studies reporting on 135 553 patients. Compared with capillary blood glucose, continuous glucose monitoring increased the number of patients identified with hypoglycemia and decreased mean daily blood glucose (BG) (very low certainty). Data on continuation of insulin pump therapy in hospitalized adults were sparse. In hospitalized patients receiving glucocorticoids, combination neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) and basal-bolus insulin was associated with lower mean BG compared to basal-bolus insulin alone (very low certainty). Data on NPH insulin vs basal-bolus insulin in hospitalized adults receiving enteral nutrition were inconclusive. Inpatient diabetes education was associated with lower HbA1c at 3 and 6 months after discharge (moderate certainty) and reduced hospital readmissions (very low certainty). Preoperative HbA1c level < 7% was associated with shorter length of stay, lower postoperative BG and a lower number of neurological complications and infections, but a higher number of reoperations (very low certainty). Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes and mild hyperglycemia was associated with lower frequency of hypoglycemic events than insulin therapy (low certainty). Caloric oral fluids before surgery in adults with diabetes undergoing surgical procedures did not affect outcomes (very low certainty). Counting carbohydrates for prandial insulin dosing did not affect outcomes (very low certainty). Compared with scheduled insulin (basal-bolus or basal insulin + correctional insulin), correctional insulin was associated with higher mean daily BG and fewer hypoglycemic events (low certainty). CONCLUSION The certainty of evidence supporting many hyperglycemia management decisions is low, emphasizing importance of shared decision-making and consideration of other decisional factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The goal of this review is to summarize information about insulin dosing software and calculators used as computerized decision support systems or electronic glucose management systems (eGMS). These are used for hospitalized, insulin-treated patients with diabetes. We describe the advantages and disadvantages and the rationale for their use. RECENT FINDINGS We compared commercially available insulin dosing software, namely, Glucommander™, EndoTool®, GlucoStabilizer®, and GlucoTab®, in addition to computerized order entry systems that are available in electronic health records. The common feature among these eGMS is their ability to limit occurrences of hypoglycemia while achieving and maintaining patients at target blood glucose level. More research needs to be done examining the efficacy of eGMS in disease-specific states and their benefits and utility in preventing adverse outcomes. Their long-term benefits to health care systems are beginning to emerge in cost-saving benefits and prevention of readmissions.
