Glycemic Control to Prevent Cardiac Morbidity in Vascular Surgery

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Peripheral Vascular Disease, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

In brief

Aggressive intraoperative and postoperative management of blood glucose may substantially decrease perioperative cardiovascular and infectious complications in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing vascular surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the tight versus traditional blood glucose control in diabetics and non-diabetics undergoing vascular surgery in regard to their postoperative fatal and nonfatal cardiac outcomes, and the secondary effects such as rate of infections, overall morbidity and 30-day mortality.
