Glycemic control protocols tightly manage the glucose levels of hospital in-patients. Peer-reviewed research demonstrates dramatic improvements in patient outcomes when glycemic control protocols have been implemented. Glycemic control protocols have been implemented for patients in ICU in cardiothoracic patients, among others. Once used only in the ICU, glycemic control is now benefiting patients in other medical care environments.
