Summary

During the last 2 decades, the management of hyperglycemia in critically ill patients has become one of the most discussed topics in the intensive-care field. The initial data suggesting significant benefit from the normalization of blood glucose levels in critically ill patients using intensive intravenous insulin therapy (Van den Berghe G et al. N Engl J Med. 2001) has been tempered by later studies (Finfer S et al. N Engl J Med. 2009). Some studies suggested that strict blood glucose control might benefit in non-diabetic patient and worsen outcomes in diabetics. We hypothesized that an individualized blood glucose target based on glycated hemoglobin measured at ICU admission would improve outcome when compared to a standard care of maintaining blood glucose bellow 10 mmol/l (180 mg/dl). We designed a randomized double blinded study in which Blood glucose control is piloted in both groups by a web-guided protocol that directly gives instruction to nurses (https://extranet.chu-lyon.fr/cpg). The study will enroll 4200 patients in 10 centers. Primary end point is 90 d outcome after randomization.

Conditions

  • Critical Illness

Interventions

DRUG

Human insulin - Insulin administration to control blood glucose level.

On ICU admission, the glycated hemoglobin level (A1c) is measured and insulin IV is possibly administered using a web based nurse driven insulin infusion protocol (https://extranet.chu-lyon.fr/cpg) to maintain blood glucose level below 10 mmol/l. Glycated hemoglobin result triggers patient randomization. Thereafter, during ICU stay, blood glucose level is maintained either below 1.59 × A1c - 1.59 (mmol/l) (Individualized blood glucose target group), or bellow 10 mmol/l (Conventional blood glucose target group).
