Rationale and strategies for improving glycaemic control in diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus has markedly risen in recent years. Consequently, there has been a rise in the number of patients with diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery. Despite the existence of national and international guidelines to improve surgical outcomes in patients with diabetes, perioperative diabetes management optimisation remains inadequate resulting in these patients experiencing increased rates of surgical morbidity and mortality. This review aims to evaluate outcomes following cardiac surgery in patients with diabetes and assess strategies to enhance preoperative and perioperative optimization and postoperative outcomes.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was performed for articles concerning perioperative managemen
