About this document
Hyperglycemia by Lucas Oliveira is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses a study examining the association between hyperglycemia and outcomes in critically ill surgical patients receiving parenteral nutrition. The study found that blood glucose levels were significantly higher in patients receiving parenteral nutrition compared to those who were not. Higher blood glucose levels, especially over 250 mg/dL, were associated with worse outcomes like increased mortality. Tight blood glucose control under 180 mg/dL was associated with no mortality in the study.
