Glycemic control

Abstract

Persistent hyperglycemia is associated with delayed wound healing, limb amputations, surgical site infections, longer recoveries from acute illness and increased mortality. The evidence-based project focused on inpatient glycemic control on the medical/surgical departments aims to increase awareness of hyperglycemic complications and to recommend evidence-based practices including a nurse-driven glycemic protocol.
