ICU insulin study: which infusion method wins?
NCT ID NCT02812927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 172 patients in the intensive care unit after surgery who needed insulin. It compared two different ways of giving insulin through a vein to see which one kept blood sugar levels more stable. The goal was to find out if using a separate line just for insulin works better than the usual setup.
