Blood sugar monitoring during surgery to prevent infections
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks if monitoring and treating blood sugar levels during long surgeries can lower the risk of infections and other problems afterward. It is for adults having any surgery expected to last 2 hours or more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older).
- You are having a surgery that is expected to last at least 2 hours.
- You do not have type 1 diabetes or special strict endocrinology orders.

This study checks how common high blood sugar is during and after surgery in people with pre-diabetes, which may help improve care for future patients.
This study tests whether carefully managing blood sugar levels after planned brain surgery can reduce the risk of surgical site infections. Researchers will monitor and control glucose (blood sugar) in the period right after surgery to see if it helps patients heal better.
This trial tests whether giving high-dose insulin around the time of major abdominal surgery can lower the risk of post-surgery infections. If you’re having elective liver, pancreas, or colorectal surgery, the study looks at whether tighter sugar control helps your recovery.
This study looks at how food moves through the body and how that may affect episodes of low blood sugar caused by too much insulin. It may help researchers better understand and possibly improve care for people who get hypoglycemia, especially after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery.
This trial tests how tightly blood sugar should be controlled during heart surgery for patients aged 60 and older with type 2 diabetes. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
This trial tests two ways to give insulin after gastrointestinal or vascular surgery to see which one leads to fewer wound infections. It may help if you have type 2 diabetes and are having one of these surgeries.
