Comparative analisis of the dynamics of glycemia using continuos glucose monitoring during on-pump or off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting by Elena Zelikovna Golukhova, Nargiz Magomedgadzhievna Magomedova, Galina Evgen'evna Chebotareva

“…Glucose level monitoring in diabetic patients during coronary revascularisation demonstrated that perioperative hyperglycaemia in patients with coronary artery disease who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass was observed regardless of whether they had metabolic carbohydrate disorders during the preoperative period. The most significant changes in glucose were observed in these patients at the stage of cardiopulmonary bypass, while in patients with T2DM, the glycaemic response to intervention (even with satisfactory preoperative compensation of carbohydrate metabolism) was more intense and less manageable than that in surgical patients without diabetes. …”
