Abstract:
The management of hyperglycemia in the intensive care unit(ICU)patients has been concerned in recent years.Epidemiological data show that the occurrence of severe hyperglycemia is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in ICU patients.Several large scale trials about intensive glycemic control in the critically ill patients were carried out,but reached disparate conclusions.Based on the latest clinical research evidences,the optimal target range of blood glucose Level in ICU patients seems to be 7.8-10 mmol/L.However,the target should be individualized in clinical practice.Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia should be carefully avoided.
