Improving Outcomes In Diabetic Patients During CABG Surgery By Optimizing Glycemic Control

June 22, 2015 updated by: Harold L. Lazar MD, American Heart Association
This study seeks to determine whether varying the dose of insulin and glucose in diabetic patients during coronary bypass surgery will improve outcomes in these patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Our previous study has shown that maintaining serum glucose between 120-180mg/dl in the perioperative period during CABG surgery in diabetic patients improves outcomes. The purpose of this trial is: (1) to determine whether outcomes can be improved by altering the content of glucose or insulin in these solutions (2)to determine the effect of these solutions and glycemic control on the inflammatory response of arterial and venous conduits used during surgery, (3) to determine whether the beneficial effects of improved glycemic control can be correlated with changes in the inflammatory response.
