Insulin Administration Safety Profile During Military En Route Critical Care Transports
Insulin infusions managed by CCAT teams were rarely administered but were associated with a relatively high hypoglycemia rate of 23%. Documented BG measures during intravenous insulin administration were inadequate. Unless a CCAT team can ensure reliable and undistracted glucose monitoring, SQ insulin should be considered the first-line treatment for hyperglycemia in the ERCC setting.
