Four intervention patients (7.4%) developed a BG < 70 mg/dL.Ī protocol for the treatment of acute hyperglycemia in the ED can be safely implemented. Mean hospital length of stay (LOS) in the intervention group was significantly less, 3.8 ± 3.3 days, compared with 5.3 ± 4.1 days in the control group (p < 0.05). Sixty-nine percent of intervention patients and 67% of controls were subsequently admitted to the hospital. In the historical control group, mean BG decline was significantly less, from 322 ± 126 mg/dL on admission to 242 ± 79 mg/dL on discharge (p < 0.001). In the intervention group, mean BG declined from 333 ± 104 mg/dL on ED admission to 158 ± 68 mg/dL on ED discharge. One hundred percent of intervention patients received insulin aspart, whereas only 35% of historical controls received insulin therapy.

We evaluated a hyperglycemia treatment protocol for use in the Emergency Department (ED) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) before admission to the hospital or discharge home.įifty-four consecutive patients with a history of DM and an ED admission blood glucose (BG) > 200 mg/dL were treated with subcutaneous (SQ) insulin aspart every 2 h until BG was 200 mg/dL.
