Pediatric Critical Care, 11/10/09
Verhoeven JJ et al. – The use of a stepwise nurse–driven glucose control protocol resulted in normoglycemia within 12 hrs for 94% of the children involved. Episodes of severe hypoglycemia did not occur. The authors conclude that the glucose control protocol is effective in treating hyperglycemia in critically ill children. Further studies are necessary to assess safety before the protocol could also be implemented in other pediatric intensive care units.
