Tight Glycaemic Control During Cardiac Surgery (TGC)

Experimental: Tight glycaemic control (TGC)

TGC used hyperinsulinaemic normoglycaemic clamp with modified glucose-insulin-potassium to control blood sugar. The insulin (HumulinTM R, Lilly pharma, Germany) was diluted with normal saline to the concentration 1 IU. mL-1 and was infused continuously throughout the operations at a fixed rate of 0.3 IU. kg-1.h-1 but the maximal rate was 20 IU/ h. A separate mixture of glucose 25% (A.N.B Laboratories, Thailand) 50 mL, potassium chloride (Nida pharma, Thailand) 20 mEq and magnesium sulfate (Atlantic, Thailand) 2 gm was infused at 0.75 mL.kg-1.h-1 and was adjusted to maintain blood glucose levels 80-150 mg/dL.

Conventional glycaemic control aims to control blood sugar less than 250 mg%. Insulin was given bolusly if the blood sugar more than 250 mg%.

Nosocomial Infection

Infection rate referred to the rate of nosocomial infection, including pneumonia, central line infection, surgical wound infection, deep sternal wound infection, urinary tract infection, and sepsis. Infections were defined according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definitions, occurring within 30 days postoperative cardiac surgery.

Morbidities and All Causes Mortality

morbidities defined as hypoglycaemia (blood sugar less than 60 mg/dL), Stroke (focal neurological deficit confirmed with CT or MRI), acute renal failure (rising of creatinine)
