Must the insulin rate remain unchanged for four hours and able to go to every two hour BG-checks before going to the floor?
A. Blood glucoses are still checked on an every one-hour basis on the floor until there are four in a row that are within the target range (currently 80 – 120 mg/dl on the floor) with no change in the drip, as noted in the protocol. Most patients are on a stable drip rate by the middle of the first post-operative day.
