ABSTRACT
Studies in cardiac surgical patients have shown an association of hyperglycemia with increased incidences of sepsis, mediastinitis, prolonged mechanical ventilation, cardiac arrhythmias and longer intensive care and hospital stay. There is considerable controversy regarding appropriate glycemic management in these patients and in the defi nition of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia or the blood sugar levels at which therapy should be initiated. There is also dilemma regarding the usage of “tight glycemic control” with studies showing confl icting evidences. Part of the controversy can be explained by the differing designs of these studies and the variable defi nitions of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
