Intensive Insulin Therapy in Critically Ill Patients
Greet Van den Berghe,Pieter Wouters,Frank Weekers,Charles Verwaest,Frans Bruyninckx,Miet Schetz,Dirk Vlasselaers,Patrick Ferdinande,Peter Lauwers,Roger Bouillon +9 more
TL;DR: Intensive insulin therapy to maintain blood glucose at or below 110 mg per deciliter reduces morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients in the surgical intensive care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive insulin therapy in the medical ICU.
Greet Van den Berghe,Alexander Wilmer,Greet Hermans,Wouter Meersseman,Pieter Wouters,Ilse Milants,Eric Van Wijngaerden,Herman Bobbaers,Roger Bouillon +8 more
TL;DR: Intensive insulin therapy significantly reduced morbidity but not mortality among all patients in the medical ICU, and the risk of subsequent death and disease was reduced in patients treated for three or more days.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of the cognitive and motivational effects of serious games
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used meta-analytic techniques to investigate whether serious games are more effective in terms of learning and more motivating than conventional instruction methods (learning: k = 77, N 5,547; motivation:k = 31, N 2,216).
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome benefit of intensive insulin therapy in the critically ill: Insulin dose versus glycemic control.
Greet Van den Berghe,Pieter Wouters,Roger Bouillon,Frank Weekers,Charles Verwaest,Miet Schetz,Dirk Vlasselaers,Patrick Ferdinande,Peter Lauwers +8 more
TL;DR: Normoglycemia was safely reached within 24 hrs and maintained during intensive care by using insulin titration guidelines, and metabolic control, as reflected by normoglycesmia, rather than the infused insulin dose per se, was related to the beneficial effects of intensive insulin therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
