Sliding scale therapy refers to an insulin administration regimen. Insulin is administered based on pre-meal levels of blood sugar. More insulin is administered if blood sugarlevels are high, and the dose is reduced if blood sugar levels are near the acceptable range. Sliding scale insulin therapy...
Groups were compared in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), weight, frequency of hypoglycemia and insulin requirement at CSII initiation and follow-up. Within-person changes in a subgroup that started out using the sliding scale method and then crossed over to carbohydrate counting (n=21) ...
The aim of this study was to assess the bolus-infusion to the sliding scale of insulin approaches, regarding percentage of the operative time with the target capillary blood glucose (CBG) range, total insulin units given to the patients, development of h
Variable Rate Intravenous Insulin Infusion (VRII) is a slow continuous intravenous infusion of soluble/fast-acting insulin, running variably at 0.5-8 U/hr, for control of blood glucose levels in patients with persistent hyperglycaemia not associated with hyperglycaemic emergencies, who are not ...
