1. Postoperative blood glucose levels and total insulin requirement.
Postoperative blood glucose levels and total insulin requirement. A: Postoperative blood glucose levels using the closed-loop glycemic control system in the intermediate IT (solid line) and intensive IT (dashed line) groups. The percentage of subjects within the blood glucose target range for intermediate glucose control by a closed-loop system during surgical ICU was 96.8%, and also, the average blood glucose levels in patients from the intensive IT group were well controlled to the target zone (80–110 mg/dL) but did not decrease to hypoglycemic levels, and the percentage within the blood glucose target range for intensive glucose control by a closed-loop system during surgical ICU was 85.8%. B: Total insulin usage with the closed-loop glycemic control system in the intermediate and intensive IT groups. Patients undergoing intensive glucose control received a larger mean insulin dose (101 ± 88 units [range 8–390] in the surgical ICU vs. 77 ± 72 [0–355] with the intermediate IT group) for 18 h after the hepatic resection (P = 0.015).
