Effects of glargine insulin on glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus type II undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft. Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia. 2018 Apr; 21(2): 167-1720971-9784http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/185705Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is noticeably high (20%–30%). These patients have inferior perioperative outcome, reduced long-term survival, and high risk of recurrent episodes of angina. To improve perioperative outcome surgical unit defined satisfactory glycemic control is desired during this period. Hence, the aim of our study is to compare the efficacy of glargine insulin combination with continuous human insulin infusion for perioperative glycemic control in patients with diabetes undergoing CABG. Materials and Methods: Fifty Patients, who were posted for off-pump CABG with diabetes mellitus type II, were randomized in two group, Group I normal saline + human insulin infusion during the perioperative period, Group II (glargine group): Glargine + human insulin infusion during perioperative period. Results: During surgery and in the postoperative period, random blood sugar and human insulin requirement are significantly higher in control group than glargine group. Other infection, step-up antibiotics, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospital stay were significantly higher in control groups in postoperative period. Conclusion: Our study results suggest that glargine effectively manages blood glucose level with significantly greater control over postoperative morbidity.Diabetes mellitus Type IIglargine insulinhuman insulinoff‑pump coronary artery bypass graftingJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Cardiac Anesthesia, U N Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Center, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, IndiaDepartment of Cardio Vascular and Thoracic Surgery, U N Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Center, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, IndiaDepartment of Research, U N Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Center, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
