Euglycemia following IED‐like blast exposure
Abstract
Episodes of hyperglycemia are considered to be a secondary insult in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and have been shown to be associated with impaired outcome. Intensive insulin therapy and strict monitoring of blood glucose (BG) during neurointensive care is considered crucial to maintain the brain's glucose demand after brain injury, and to avoid both hypo‐ and hyper‐glycemia. This study investigated glucose levels in peripheral blood in the acute phase following IED‐like blast injury.
