| Popis: | Hyperglycaemia is often associated with the hypermetabolic response to burn injury. It is perceived that glycaemic control can be difficult in a burns population. The aims of this study are to define the level of glycaemic control and the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia since the introduction of a nurse-led intensive insulin programme in a tertiary referral burns intensive therapy unit (BITU). |
