Comparison of Insulin Pump Therapy (Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion) to Alternative Methods for Perioperative Glycemic Management in Patients with Planned Postoperative Admissions

Abstract

In this limited sample, preliminary findings are consistent with similar intraoperative glycemic control between CSII continuation and CSII conversion to intravenous insulin infusions. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion suspension had a greater rate of hyperglycemia. Preoperative differences between insulin delivery groups complicate interpretations of findings.
