Blood Glucose Control in the Burn Intensive Care Unit: A Narrative Review of Literature.
(Abstract only.) Burns. 49(8):1788-1795.
The authors note that there are conflicting guidelines for glucose control in burn patients in intensive care. Their review found that intensive glucose control increased the risk of hypoglycemia, but it also led to a decrease in infections. The authors conclude that controlling glucose levels should be tailored to the burn patient’s comorbidities.
