Overview

Hyperglycaemia is a common finding in critically ill patients. Maintenance of normoglycaemia with intensive insulin therapyduring intensive care has been recently demonstrated to decrease mortality and morbidity. Therefore, hyperglycaemiashould no longer be considered a surrogate marker of severity of illness, but needs to be controlled aggressively. The mostimportant arguments for the implementation of intensive insulin therapy are its safety, cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

insulin – infection – myocardial infarction – glycaemia – critically ill
