Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: The glycemic surveillance is important in intensive care unit in order to know the vital prognosis of each patient. Methods: We did a descriptive and analytical study during six months in the medical intensive care unit and toxicology at Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona Academic Hospital. All admitted patients with high blood glucose level and the protocol done were concerned by this study. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes for those patient with high blood glucose level during their stay in the unit. Results: Among 78 patients selected for this study: 22 (13%) of them died and 10 from those last received insulin therapy. The correlation between mortality rate and insulin use were non-significant. Conclusion: Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are frequently seen while in intensive care unit and also associated with a high morbi-mortality rate.
