Perioperative management of patients blood glucose level is critically important, yet frequently ignored or overlooked by even the most skilled
surgeon and operative staff. Research Documents the delayed healing and increase of infection risk in patients who have poor blood glucose
control in and around the peri operative area.
If a patient is diabetic This Risk is exponentially increased Because of the impaired circulation And poor tissue profusion and tissue
nourishment , wound healing, as a result of their underlying illness.
Patients that are not diabetic, sometimes Have Increase glucose Response due to stress and the trauma of surgery, Creating an opportunistic
environment for any Pathogens that have inadvertently found their way into patient as a result of surgery. All these complications result in
Additional length of stay, increased cost of treatment risk for Sepsis, Risk for organ failure and organ dysfunction And ultimately risk for death.
The cost is negligible to monitor blood glucose levels Before and after surgery and to Maintain strict control of the patient’s blood glucose level
during the same time. We’re talking about the cost of test strips And Having the qualified personnel to Take the blood glucose reading and
communicate that to The appropriate staff for the appropriate treatment. In the event of Patient developing Uncontrolled glucose levels, early
signs of sepsis Could be Recognized and treated efficiently and effectively Again thereby reducing complications and costs.
