Abstract
BACKGROUND: Management of patients with hyperglycaemia undergoing vascular and cardiac surgery is important, with mounting evidence that hyperglycaemia in this setting is associated with worse outcomes. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of these patients have been limited. METHODS/ RESULTS: Our institution was aware of the lack of standardization of care in this growing population group and formed a multidisciplinary guideline development group to develop evidence-based guidelines to standardize the perioperative management of hyperglycaemia. CONCLUSION: This series of articles outlines the process of developing evidence-based guidelines and the recommendations for perioperative management of patients with hyperglycaemia and diabetes undergoing cardiac and vascular surgery at our institution.
