Résumé

Most previous insulin infusion protocols are titrated for Westerners and are not simple to follow. In this study, we tested the efficacy and safety of our simple insulin infusion protocol utilizing lower insulin doses for Asians. A total of 152 patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing cardiothoracic surgery were included. After surgery, blood glucose (BG) was initially managed according to our algorithm protocol, and subsequently by the post-algorithm protocol. Insulin infusion rates in the algorithm protocol were titrated in two steps according to (1) current BG levels and (2) the difference between current and previous BG levels. In the post-algorithm protocol, insulin lispro was injected subcutaneously in addition to intravenous insulin infusion according to BG levels. The efficacy was assessed as achievement rates of two target BG ranges (140-199 and 80-199 mg/dL), and safety was assessed as hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dL) and protocol error rates. With the use of the algorithm protocol, 58.7% of 1749 BG measurements achieved a range of 140-199 mg/dL, and 95.9% achieved levels within the 80-199 mg/dL range. Hypoglycemia and protocol error rates were 0.47 and 0.51%, respectively. With the post-algorithm protocol, 48.7 and 98.3% of 898 BG measurements achieved each target range. Hypoglycemia and protocol error rates were 0.78 and 0.22%, respectively. Severe hypoglycemia (< 40 mg/dL) was not observed. Our insulin infusion protocol seems to be efficacious, safe, and widely feasible for Asian patients because of its simplicity and lower insulin dose.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Most previous insulin infusion protocols are titrated for Westerners and are not simple to follow. In this study, we tested the efficacy and safety of our simple insulin infusion protocol utilizing lower insulin doses for Asians.
METHODS METHODS
A total of 152 patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing cardiothoracic surgery were included. After surgery, blood glucose (BG) was initially managed according to our algorithm protocol, and subsequently by the post-algorithm protocol. Insulin infusion rates in the algorithm protocol were titrated in two steps according to (1) current BG levels and (2) the difference between current and previous BG levels. In the post-algorithm protocol, insulin lispro was injected subcutaneously in addition to intravenous insulin infusion according to BG levels. The efficacy was assessed as achievement rates of two target BG ranges (140-199 and 80-199 mg/dL), and safety was assessed as hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dL) and protocol error rates.
RESULTS RESULTS
With the use of the algorithm protocol, 58.7% of 1749 BG measurements achieved a range of 140-199 mg/dL, and 95.9% achieved levels within the 80-199 mg/dL range. Hypoglycemia and protocol error rates were 0.47 and 0.51%, respectively. With the post-algorithm protocol, 48.7 and 98.3% of 898 BG measurements achieved each target range. Hypoglycemia and protocol error rates were 0.78 and 0.22%, respectively. Severe hypoglycemia (< 40 mg/dL) was not observed.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Our insulin infusion protocol seems to be efficacious, safe, and widely feasible for Asian patients because of its simplicity and lower insulin dose.
