Blood Glucose Management
Newly diagnosed type 2 DM patients without standard antidiabetic
treatments before the onset of IMHB were included. The target blood
glucose level included proper blood glucose levels during fasting and
premeal states (80-130 mg/dL) and the postprandial state (less than 180
mg/dL) [7] . After TEVAR or open surgery, patients with
persistently elevated serum glucose levels (> 180 mg/dL)
received continuous intravenous insulin perfusion to maintain a serum
glucose level < 180 mg/dL during their stay in the intensive
care unit [7] .
