Comparing insulin drip vs. boluses during heart surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving insulin during heart surgery to find the best method for controlling blood sugar. If you have diabetes or take diabetes medication, this study may help determine the safest approach for you.
