Perioperative Tight Glycemic Control: The Challenge of Bariatric Surgery Patients and the Fear of Hypoglycemic EventsQuality Improvement Bellal Joseph, MD; Jeff Genaw, MD; Arthur Carlin, MD; Jack Jordan, MS; Jean Talley, RN, BSN, MSN, APRN; Ilan Rubinfeld, MD, MBA Spring 2007 - Volume 11 Number 2 https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/06-161AbstractBackground: Tight glycemic control (TGC) is rapidly becoming a standard of care for all hospitalized patients. However, fear of hypoglycemia has proven a potent barrier to adoption of such initiatives by physicians and medical staff. Henry Ford Hospital has pursued aggressive glycemic control for all hospital patients. Because the initial standard TGC protocol (TGCP) was insufficient to improve glycemic control in our bariatric surgery patients, we hypothesized that a more intensive protocol would be necessary to improve glycemic control for this group. |
