Effects of Perioperative Glycemic Management Protocol on Glycemic Outcomes of Type 2 Diabetic Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study
Purpose: This study aimed to reveal the effects of a glycemic control protocol directed by nurses during the perioperative period on glycemic outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Design: This was a prospective cohort study
Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of General Surgery of a research and training hospital in Turkey. The study included 47 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent elective major abdominal surgery between September 2017 and December 2018. The number of patients in the intervention and the control groups was 22 and 25, respectively. Routine clinical glycemic control was implemented in the control group, whereas a glycemic management protocol developed by a multidisciplinary team was implemented in the intervention group. We collected data on the control group first, followed by the introduction of the glycemic management protocol to clinical staff and glycemia data collection us ing the new protocol. Blood glucose (BG) levels in patients and the factors that may affect BG were measured in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Data on glycemic control was also collected. Furthermore, we measured the satisfaction of the nurses implementing the glycemic management protocol. Findings: The rate of hyperglycemia in intensive care unit was 21% in the intervention group and 59% in the control group (P < .05). Time spent in the target BG range during insulin infusion was 76% in the intervention group and 35% in the control group (P < .05). The time required to achieve target BG range during insulin infusion was 6 hours for the intervention group and 15 hours for the control group, indicating that less time was required to achieve the target BG range in the intervention group (P < .05). Moreover, the insulin consumption rate in the intensive care unit was lower in the intervention group (P < .05). The satisfaction levels of the nurses that used the glycemic management protocol was 92.61 ± 7.93%. Conclusions: Results of this study showed that the implementation of a glycemic management protocol by nurses for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery decreases the rate of hyperglycemia, insulin consumption rate, and the time required to achieve the targeted BG range during the perioperative period. Therefore, it is recommended to use a glycemia management protocol to control glycemia in patients during the surgical process. © 2024 The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses
