NCT00524472

Brief Summary

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery will be randomized into one of two groups. Group A will be administered insulin using the hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp to normalize blood glucose levels intra-operatively. Group B will be administered insulin at the standard of care levels established by the participating institution. Patients will be followed at 10 days, 15 days and one year post-operatively.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Any Major Morbidity/30-day Mortality

    a composite (any versus none) of the following major postoperative complications occurring: 1. all-cause postoperative mortality 2. failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass or postoperative low cardiac index requiring mechanical circulatory support with intraaortic balloon counterpulsation, ventricular assist device, and/or extracorporeal mechanical oxygenation 3. serious postoperative infection 4. acute postoperative kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy; 5. new postoperative focal or global neurologic deficit.

    within 30 days post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Post Operative Atrial Fibrillation

    15 - 30 days post operative

  • Duration of Hospitalization

    starting post operative day one to discharge from hospital, on an average of 8 days

  • Duration of Intensive Care Stay

    ICU stay hours during hospital stay after surgery, on average of 25 hours

  • All-cause Mortality

    one year post operative

  • a Composite of Minor Postoperative Complications

    within 30 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be randomized to receive the hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp titrating the blood glucose to 80-110 mg/dL.

Other: Hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp

Insulin at the standard of care levels

OTHER

Group B will be administered insulin at the standard of care levels established by the participating institution.

Other: insulin at the standard of care levels
