Hyperglycemia is associated with worse outcomes in the critically ill, and may be more deleterious in those without pre-existing diabetes.
2
There are some populations wherein intravenous (IV) insulin reduces blood glucose (BG) and appears to be beneficial in reducing mortality and/or infection: diabetics undergoing cardiothoracic surgery,
3,4
diabet-
ics with myocardial infarction,
5
and non-diabetics undergoing cardio-
thoracic and general surgery.
6
Based on large, randomized control trials, the optimal glucose range
for improving outcomes in the critically ill is unknown and remains a moving target. In the NICE-SUGAR trial, surgical and medical critically ill patients suffered increased mortality and hypoglycemia when glucose targets of 80–110 mg/dL were applied.
7
Furthermore, the optimal glucose target may vary depending on the population type, i.e. medical versus surgical, diabetic versus non-diabetic. Current recommendations by the ADA/AACE are BG goal of 140–180 mg/dL in critically ill patients, using an IV insulin protocol with demonstrated efficacy and safety.
8
There are published insulin drip protocols using the lower glucose goal of 80–110 mg/dL,
9–11
and the newer goal of 140–180 mg/dL.

Glucose Goals

Glucose goals in the critically ill patient: 140–180 mg/dL.
Consider initiating IV insulin infusion when glucose >180 mg/dL.

Insulin IV Infusion

A validated IV insulin drip protocol should be used, incorporating current glucose, rate of glucose change, and current insulin infusion rate into adjust­ments of the insulin infusion. A hypoglycemia protocol should be used.
Insulin IV infusion: 100% bioavailable, immediate onset, duration of
insulin action 1 hour
Insulin infusions come in different concentrations.
Regular insulin 100 units mixed in 1000 mL of 0.9% NaCl (normal saline) → 1 unit insulin per 10 mL.

M. Skamagas
Regular insulin 100 units mixed in 100 mL of 0.9% NaCl (normal saline) → 1 unit insulin per 1 mL. This concentration requires an infusion pump that can dispense 1mL/hour.

Glucose Monitoring

Measure blood glucose (BG) every 1 hour.
When BG is stable and no change in clinical status, nutrition, steroids,
etc., consider reducing BG measurements to every 2 hours.
Obtain blood from capillary/fingerstick and use bedside glucometer,
OR obtain blood from venous/arterial source/catheter and measure BG on blood gas.
Caveat: capillary BG measurements may be inaccurate in hypotensive/
hypoperfused patients, severe edema, and patients receiving pressors.
Check HbA1c to determine if patient has pre-existing diabetes or
stress hyperglycemia.
Converting IV to Subcutaneous (SC) Insulin in Critically Ill
13
Convert to SC insulin when patient is clinically stable, off pressors,
BG is stable, patient is ready to resume eating.
Check BG before meals and at bedtime.
If patient is not eating or is receiving tube feeds, check BG every
6 hours.
Not to be used for diabetic emergencies (diabetic ketoacdosis and
hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state).
Patients who do not have a prior diagnosis of insulin-requiring dia­betes and who are receiving 1.5 units/hour of IV insulin, may not require transition to SC basal insulin. Consider starting correction insulin scale only, monitor BG, and initiate basal insulin if BG is not at goal.
395
Glycemic Management in Critically Ill Patients
These patients may require correction scale only, basal insulin only, or basal and mealtime insulin.

Calculation of SC Insulin Doses

1. Total Daily Insulin Requirement
Determine the average hourly rate of IV insulin over last 6 hours and multiple rate × 20 hours Ex: 2 Units/hr × 20 hr = 40 Units = Total Daily Insulin
2. Convert Total Daily Insulin to SC insulin: 50% basal, 50% mealtime
in divided doses. Ex: 40 units × 50% = 20 units
BASAL: 20 Units glargine SC once daily
Can also use detemir divided twice daily, or NPH divided twice daily (more hypoglycemia with the latter)
MEALTIME: 20 ÷ 3 6 Units rapid-acting insulin SC before meals
Use only if patient is eating Use aspart, lispro, or glulisine If PO intake variable/poor, give less than this calculated dose Ex: Give 25–50% = 2–3 units after patient has eaten >25–50% meal
CORRECTION INSULIN SCALE: Use before meals or every 6 hours
Use aspart, lispro, or glulisine See Table 4 in Chapter 46 “Management of Diabetes and
Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized Patients”
ENTERAL NUTRITION (TUBE FEEDS): For patients on continuous
tube feeds and insulin drip:
Convert Total Daily Insulin to NPH insulin SC divided every
8 hours
Ex: Total daily insulin of 40 units ÷ 3 ≈ NPH 13 units every
8 hours, give if tube feeds are infusing
If tube feeds are inadvertently stopped, start IV Dextrose 10% and
hold NPH.

Insulin

Patients.”

Management of Hospitalized Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease

Key Pearls

Intradialytic hypotension is often secondary to excessive volume removal but may be a sign of an infected dialysis access, myocardial ischemia, or a significant pericardial effusion.
Hemodialysis patients who present with a thrombosed AV access may be treated by an interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon in the outpatient setting and avoid hospital admission if they do not have an acute indication for dialysis.
Hospitalized patients with advanced CKD should be educated about the risk of progression to ESRD and ideally seen by a nephrologist or CKD educator during their admission so that they may make early arrangements for future renal replacement therapy.
Blood transfusions should be avoided in ESRD patients who are poten­tial transplant candidates because of the risk of developing antibodies and rejecting a donor kidney in the future, but should be administered, if necessary, while the patient receives dialysis to avoid volume overload.
Oral sodium phosphate solution bowel preps should never be used in patients with renal disease as these can cause acute phosphate nephropathy in patients with CKD, and severe hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia in patients with ESRD.

Introduction

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are frequently hospitalized for conditions directly and indirectly related to their chronic kidney disease (CKD) or renal replacement therapy (i.e. hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, kidney transplantation). With an average of nearly two hospital admissions per patient-year, the adjusted ESRD hospitalization rate is four times higher than that of the general Medicare population.
1
As the number of patients with ESRD continues to grow in the United States, hospitalists can expect to see an increase in the number of ESRD-related admissions and must understand the specific care needs associated with this patient population.

Common Reasons for ESRD-related Hospitalization

Infections
ESRD patients are more susceptible to infections because of the adverse effects of uremia on the immune system; CKD/ESRD patients have a 3–4-fold higher risk of major infections and sepsis as compared to the general population.
2
In this section, we will limit our discussion to the management of dialysis access-associated infections. Other infections commonly seen in ESRD patients, such as pneumonia, are covered in other chapters.
Catheter-related Bacteremia
The overwhelming majority of vascular access-associated bloodstream infections in ESRD patients on hemodialysis (HD) are catheter-related bacteremias (CRBs). Patients typically present with fever and chills, often while receiving dialysis treatment through the infected catheres. Diagnosis of dialysis CRBs requires concurrent positive blood cultures from the dialysis catheter and a peripheral vein. In practice, obtaining blood cultures from the periphery is rarely done as ESRD patients have notoriously poor venous access. Empirical antibiotic therapy consists of vancomycin and an aminoglycoside or third-generation cephalosporin

(see Table 1). In addition, management of a dialysis CRB typically involves catheter removal or catheter replacement via guidewire exchange because the risk of recurrence after antibiotic treatment alone is too high to attempt catheter salvage in most settings. If the patient is stable, most nephrologists prefer guidewire exchange over catheter removal because the results are similar and guidewire exchange pre­serves access sites which may otherwise be lost.

*Adapted from 2009 guidelines published by IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America). **Adapted from 2010 guidelines published by ISPD (International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis); for patients with residual renal function (urine output >100 ml/day), dose should be increased by 25%. All antibiotics administered by intraperitoneal (IP) route should be used with long dwell of PD.
