Attitudes, Knowledge, And Practices Regarding Blood Glucose Control: A Survey Of Intensive Care Unit Professionals

Dysglycemia is a common and independent risk factor for poor prognosis in critically ill patients.[1] Little research on blood glucose (BG) management has been done in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in China.Understanding current practice patterns,as well as concerns and beliefs surrounding BG control in critically ill patients,is essential for further research on this issue and future medical education in intensive care physicians.Therefore,we designed and conducted this survey of intensive care physicians' attitudes,knowledge,and practices concerning the treatment and prevention of dysglycemia,including hyperglycemia,hypoglycemia,and/or marked BG variability.
