Glycemic Control in the ICU
摘要
A 45-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital with cough, breathlessness, dizziness, and fever for the past 5 days. He was hypoxemic (SpO2 88% on a nonrebreathing mask) and hypotensive (blood pressure 82/34 mmHg after 2 L of IV fluid). He was intubated and started on mechanical ventilation. His blood glucose was 350 mg/dL on the glucometer.
