SHOrt-term Glycemic Control for Reducing Post-SURGical Complications

NCT06334068 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 53

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Perioperative dysglycemia-hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability-is associated with an increased risk for adverse outcomes. Several studies have reported the association between elevated preoperative HbA1c and postoperative complications.

There are no studies that confirm that postponing elective surgery improves patient outcomes. Likewise, no prospective trials have studied whether short-term glycemic control reduces postoperative complications and unnecessary patient delays in elective surgeries.

Consequently, this randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of short-term glycemic control before major abdominal surgery on postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Short-term glycemic control group

Patients will be admitted to the hospital for 2-3 days before surgery. During this pilot study, patients will be admitted to the intermediate care unit to monitor and control preoperative blood glucose. We aim to maintain moderate glucose control (140-180 mg/dl) using the basal-bolus insulin protocol, plus correctional doses as needed.

OTHER

Standard-of-care group

Patients will be admitted the day before surgery with the usual patient treatment.
