16. Anaesthesia

17. Diagnosis and Classification 1)Symptoms ( polyuria, polydipsia,wt loss )plus random plasma glucose >=200 mg/dl (11.1mmol/l) or 2) A fasting (>8hr)plasma glucose of >=126 mg/dl (7 mmol/l). or 3)A glucose conc . Of >=200 mg/dl (11.1mmol/l)2 hrs after oral ingestion of 75 g glucose • 2004 ADA , reduces normal fasting glucose thresold from 110mg/dl to 100 mg/dl (normal FBG = 70 – 100 ) • Impaired fasting glucose = 101 – 125 mg/dl

18. Metabolic syndrome x At least 3 of the following: • FPG ≥ 110 mg/dl • Abdominal obesity (waist grith >40 in men and >35 in women ) • Sr. triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dl • Sr. HDL <40 mg/dl in men and < 50 mg/dl in women • Blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmhg

19. Classification

20. Preoperative evaluation &risk assessment Classical diabetic complications Macroangiopathy - arteriosclerosis Microangiopathy - heart, kidney &retina Autonomic neuropathy - heart, GI &urinary tracts Peripheral neuropathy Collagen anomalies - respiratory tract & joints Unifying hypothesis - impaired glycosylation of proteins Systematic search of diabetic complications – key step

21. Perioperative complications with Hyperglycemia • Dehydration, electrolyte & metabolic disturbances • Predisposes to DKA • Delayed wound healing • Bacterial infection & postop wound infection • Median glycemic threshold for neutrophil dysfunction 200 mg/dl • Independent risk factor for increase in short & long term mortality after cardiovascular surgery • Worsens clinical outcome in stroke, traumatic brain injury, global & focal cerebral ischaemia • Haemorrhagic extension of ischaemic stroke

22. Benefits of normal blood glucose • Maintenance of normal white blood cell & macrophage function • Positive trophic & anabolic effects of insulin • Improved erythropoiesis • Decreased hemolysis • Reduced cholestasis • Less axonal dysfunction

23. Oral Hypoglycemic Agents

26. Insulin preparations and guidelines

27. Traditional Regimens Χ“No glucose, no insulin” Limitations : • Not suitable for insulin dependent diabetics • Pt’s stores of glucose used to meet increased metabolic demands • Patients taking long acting OHAs predisposed to hypoglycemia Acceptable for non-insulin dependent diabetics & minor surgical procedures Frequent blood sugar monitoring. May require insulin therapy

28. Non tight control” regimen • Aim : Prevent hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar states • Day before surgery : NPO > midnight • Day of surgery : iv 5%D @1.5 ml/kg/hr (Preop + intraop) • Subcut one half usual daily intermediate acting insulin on morning of surgery, increased by 0.5U for each unit of regular insulin dose of insulin subcut • Postop : Monitor blood glu & treat on sliding scale • Limitations: • Insulin requirements vary in periop period • Onset & peak effect may not correlate with glucose admn or start of surgery • Hypoglycemia esp in afternoon • Lowest therapeutic ratio

29. Tight control regimen I • Aim : 79-120 mg/dl • Protocol : • Evening before, do pre-prandial bld glucose • Begin iv 5%D @ 50 ml/hr/70 kg • Piggyback to 5%D, infusion of regular insulin (50 U in 250 ml 0.9% NS) • Insulin infusion rate (U/hr) = plasma glu (mg/dl) / 150 or /100 if on steroids or severe infection • Repeat bldglu every 4 hours • Day of surgery : Non dextrose containing solutions, • Monitor blood glu at start & every 1-2 hours

30. Tight control regimen II • Aim : Same as TC regimen I • Protocol : Obtain a feedback mechanical pancreas & set controls for desired plasma glucose. • Institute 2 iv drips for insulin & fluids

31. Alberti’s regimen • 1979- Alberti & Thomas IV GIK solution [500ml 10% glucose + 10 units soluble insulin + 1 gm KCl @ 100 ml/hr] • Before surgery - stabilize on soluble insulin regimen, omit morning dose of insulin • Commence infusion early on morning & monitor glu at 2-3 hours • < 90mg/dl or > 180 mg/dl replace bag with 5U or 15U respectively

32. Alberti’s regimen-Recent version • Initial solution : 500ml 10% glu + 10 mmolKCl + 15 U Insulin, infuse at 100 ml/hr • Check Blood glu every 2 hours • Adjust in 5 U steps • Discontinue if bldglu < 90 mg/dl

33. Advantages : simple, Inherent safety factor, balance appropriate • Criticism : hypoglycemia, water load & hyponatremia, cautious : poor renal function • 20% or 50% D

34. Hirsh regimen • Aim : Normoglycemia • Infuse glucose 5 g/hr with pot 2-4 mmol/hr • Start insulin infusion @.5-1U/hr • Measure blood glucose hourly

35. Regular Insulin Sliding Scale • RECOMMENDATIONS • Supplement usual diabetes medications to treat uncontrolled high blood sugars • Short term use (24-48 h) in a patient admitted with unknown insulin requirement • Should not be used as a sole substitute, risk of DKA Periop changes in regional blood flow – unpredictable absorption

37. Split-mixed insulin regimen • Combining multiple daily injections of intermediate or long acting insulin (NPH, lente, or ultralente) rapid or short acting insulins (Regular, insulin lispro, or insulin aspart) • “1500 Rule” : (ICF) 1500/total insulin dose = how much 1 unit of regular insulin will decrease blood glucose.

38. Hypoglycemia • BG < 50 mg/dl in adults and < 40 mg/dl in children • whipple’s triad : low plasma glucose hypoglycemic symptoms resolution of symptoms with correction of blood sugar • Sympathoadrenal : • Weakness, sweating, ↑ HR, palpitations, tremor, nervousness, irritability, tingling, hunger • Neuroglycopenia : • Headache, ↓ temp, visual disturbances, mental confusion, amnesia, seizures, coma

39. Treatment : • Discontinue insulin drip • Give D 50 w iv patient conscious – 25 ml patient unconscious – 50 ml • Recheck BG every 20 min & repeat 25 ml of D50 w if < 60 mg/dl • Restart drip once BG is > 70 mg/dl

40. Diabetic autonomic neuropathy : Pupillary Decreased diameter of darkadapted pupil Argyll-Robertson type pupil Metabolic Hypoglycemia unawareness Hypoglycemia unresponsiveness Cardiovascular Tachycardia, exercise intolerance Cardiac denervation Orthostatic hypotension Heat intolerance Neurovascular Areas of symmetrical anhydrosis Gustatory sweating Hyperhidrosis Alterations in skin blood flow Gastrointestinal Constipation Gastroparesisdiabeticorum Diarrhea and fecal incontinence Esophageal dysfunction Genitourinary Erectile dysfunction Retrograde ejaculation Cystopathy Neurogenic bladder Defective vaginal lubrication

41. Diagnostic tests for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy : • Resting heart rate • > 100 beats/minute is abnormal • Beat-to-beat heart rate variation • The patient should abstain from drinking coffee overnight • Test should not be performed after overnight hypoglycemic episodes • When the patient lies supine and breathes 6 times per minute, a difference in heart rate of less • than 10 beats/minute is abnormal • An expiration:inspiration R-R ratio > 1.17 is abnormal • Heart rate response to standing • The R-R interval is measured at beats 15 and 30 after the patient stands • A 30:15 ratio of less than 1.03 is abnormal • Heart rate response to Valsalvamaneuver • The patient forcibly exhales into the mouthpiece of a manometer, exerting a pressure of 40 mm Hg, for 15 seconds • A ratio of longest to shortest R-R interval of less than 1.2 is abnormal

42. Systolic blood pressure response to standing • Systolic blood pressure is measured when the patient is lying down and 2 minutes after the patient stands • A fall of more than 30 mm Hg is abnormal • A fall of 10 to 29 mm Hg is borderline • Diastolic blood pressure response to isometric exercise • The patient squeezes a handgrip dynamometer to establish his or her maximum • The patient then squeezes the grip at 30% maximum for 5 minutes • A rise of less than 16 mm Hg in the contralateral arm is abnormal • Electrocardiography • A QTc of more than 440 ms is abnormal • Depressed very-low frequency peak or low-frequency peak indicate sympathetic dysfunction • Depressed high-frequency peak indicates parasympathetic dysfunction • Lowered low-frequency/high-frequency ratio indicates sympathetic imbalance • Neurovascular flow • Noninvasive laser Doppler measures of peripheral sympathetic responses to nociception
