What the short-term risks associated with hyperglycemia in the hospital setting
|
increased srik fo complication, mortaility and a long hospital stay, and high admission rate to ICU
|
|
What is the MOA of hyperglycemia in the acute setting
|
increases in counteregulatory hormones due stress which results in alterations in carb metabolism, insulin resistane, and increase hepatic glucose production, and release of inflmattory mediators
|
|
What are glucose goal for in-patients for fasting and random glucose glucose according to ADA
|
FBG 90-130
Random BG <180 |
|
What are the 3 components for GENERAL treatment for hospitized pts
|
Basal insulin
Nutritional Insulin Correction dose insulin (based on insulin senstivity) |
|
1/2 of TDD insulin is secretetd as a basal function, and 1/2 is secreted due to nutrtional intake!, when correctional dose insulin given
|
correct hypergylcemia that occurs depiste the basal and nutrtional insulin
|
|
Basal insulin (glargine or detemir) shoould be provided when
|
ALWAYS be proved, even when the person is NOT eating
|
|
Can you use NPH is a pts who is NPO event though it peaks
|
YES--however should recduce dose
|
|
Who should be given nurtional insulin (rapid acting aspart, glulisine, and lispro)
|
patient who are eating meals or bolus tube feeding
|
|
What is the con of using regular insulin for nutrtional insulin
|
must be given 30 minutes before meal--problem with nursing usints
|
|
Patient who are NOT recieving any nuration should NOT receive
|
nurtional insulin
|
|
What type of insulin is usually used for correctional dose
|
SAME as the nutrtional insulin
RAPID acting Could be regular |
|
When is correctional dose insulin usually given
|
SAME time as the nurtional insulin
or every 4-6 hours if patietns are NOT |
|
If a correction dose insulin is required consistently or in high dose--what is needed
|
modifiction to the basal and or nurtional insulin
|
|
As a general rule what is a conservating starting point for TDD of insulin in MOST patients
|
0.4 units/kg--TDD
|
|
When sould a LOWER insulin dose of 0.3 units/kg be STARTED (INSULIN SENSITIVE PT
|
ELDERLY patients or patient with CrCL <60
|
|
What can be a TDD started in obses pats or patients receiving corticosteriod (INSULIN RESISTANT)
|
0.5 units/kg
|
|
How should insulin be given in patient eating meal
|
Basal insulin 50% of TDD (Glargine qd)
and nutrtional insulin 50%--divided equally into 3 meals and given with means Correctional before every meal and qHS |
|
How should insulin be given if patient NOT eating
|
50% TDD of Basal insulin
Correction insulin q4 hours (RAA) NO NUTRTIONAL insulin b/c NOT eating |
|
What patients can CONTINUE the HOME regimen in the hopsital
|
CLINICALLY STABLE, normal nurtional intake, NORMAL BG values,a dn stable renal and cardic function
|
|
What is the MAIN disadvantage of continuing the home regimen in the hopital
|
difficult to quickly tirate to effect
|
|
Sliding Scale insulins IS NOT recommend as monothearpy, wht
|
it is more reactive strategy that treat hyperglycemia after its already occur does not PREVENT
and we that hyperglycemia is assoicted with increased risk of complictions,and long hostpials and mortaility |
|
What is the preffered use of IV insulin
|
for the ICU
|
|
What is the preferred use of SUBQ inuslin
|
NON-crtically ill patients
|
|
What makes the Basal/Bolus reigmen the ideal reigmen for treatment of hyperglycemia
|
acts rapids, mimics normal physiologic insulin
|
|
What are some cons of the Basal bolus reigmen
|
matching insulin based pts variable can be difficult, more time consuming the SSI
|
|
When should you be monitoring BG
|
before each meal and at bedtime
or every 6 hours in pts that NOT eating Signs/Symptoms of Hypoglycemia |
|
FOr patients with BG <70 how do treat if paitnet is alert
|
ORAL intake of 20g of carb (6 oz of fruit just or soda or cracks), and check every 20 minutes and repeat until BG >70
|
|
What are important componets of education for discharge
|
SMBG, adminstiration, hypogylcemia both recognition and treatment, glycemic goals, and education about sick day treatments
|
