Objective(s): The goal of this study was to elucidate harmful complications of intraoperative hyperglycemia following children cardiac surgery and benefits of insulin administration for accurate blood sugar controlling. Design: Randomized clinical trial Setting: operating room of shahid madani hospital Patients: 50 patients who were children under 12 years old undergoing cardiac surgery using Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). Interventions: Intraoperative insulin infusion was administered intravenously targeting at blood sugar levels of 110-140mg/dL Measurements and Main Results: Blood sugar and ABG were measured every 30 min during operation. The means of hospitalization and extubation time were more in the placebo than study group (P=0.03) and (P=0.005), respectively. However, the mean of hospitalization in the ICU ward was not significantly between groups. Conclusions: Hyperglycemia prevalence was lower in our study than mentioned studies in which the patients were either given insulin or not. Hyperglycemia duration has relation with long hospitalization time in ICU and hospital. These findings suggest the positive effect of accurate blood sugar control on reducing complication and hospitalization time in children undergoing cardiac surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
