Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Anesthesiology, 123:272–287, 2015) Researchers suspected that hyperglycemia might negate the effectiveness of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) administration during cardiac surgery. The study's authors attempted a 3-pronged approach to ascertaining if such was the case.
