Brief summary
Diabetes mellitus is associated with negative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery. Blood sugar levels are monitored by measuring a values that include but are not limited to hemoglobin A1c, capillary blood glucose, and fructosamine . This study is being done to investigate if there is an associated between these values and postsurgical outcomes.
Detailed description
This study aims to compare the predictive capacity of both fructosamine and HbA1c on preoperative basal glucose level, as well as adverse events (cardiovascular events, surgical site infection, and mortality) and length of post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay in both Type I and Type II diabetic patients. Secondary outcomes include length of anesthesia administration, an indicator of intraoperative complications, and perioperative glucose level.
Interventions
Capillary blood glucose (CBG), HbA1c, fructosamine, albumin, BUN, and creatinine values will be obtained from a blood draw as a standard of care
