What is the impact of strict blood glucose control with insulin during intensive care after cardiac surgery on four year survival?
A study by Ingels et al. (2006) found that strict blood glucose control with insulin during intensive care after cardiac surgery had a positive impact on four year survival. Their study found that patients who received insulin therapy had a significantly lower mortality rate compared to those who did not receive insulin therapy. Additionally, their study also found that insulin therapy had a positive impact on the patient's quality of life, reducing the need for medical care.
