Abstract
Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients and has been associated with poor outcomes. The effect of hypothermia, whether induced or spontaneous, on insulin resistance and hyperglycemia is not well understood and sometimes overlooked. In cardiac surgery hypothermia impairs blood glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity (1). However, the impact of therapeutic hypothermia on blood glucose levels and insulin requirements is unknown (1).
Keywords: Therapeutic Hypothermia, Hyperglycemia.
