Guidelines on Glycemic Control for Critically Ill Children and Adults 2024

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The paper published in Critical Care Medicine discusses guidelines for managing hyperglycemia in adults. Four graded statements and two good practice statements were made, emphasizing the importance of attention to hyperglycemia with a trigger set at >10 mmol/L (180 mg/dL). The focus is on conventional glucose control to minimize hypoglycemia, avoiding tighter targets due to a higher risk of severe hypoglycemia. It suggests continuous insulin infusions over intermittent dosing due to low evidence for other methods. Monitoring every hour or less during glycemic instability is recommended, though certainty in evidence remains low.
