Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Insulin glargine dosing before next-day surgery: comparing three strategies.
To evaluate three evening insulin glargine dosing strategies for achievement of target (100-179 mg/dL; 5.5 - 9.8 mmol/L) and widened (80-249 mg/dL; 4.4 - 13.7 mmol/L) preoperative fasting blood glucose (FBG) ranges on the day of surgery. ⋯ Target preoperative FBG achievement was similar among strategies in both insulin glargine groups. An insulin glargine adjustment strategy based on usual glycemic control may better prevent severe preoperative hyperglycemia in patients receiving basal/bolus regimens.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of temporal artery, nasopharyngeal, and axillary temperature measurement during anesthesia in children.
To evaluate the accuracy and precision of a new, noninvasive infrared thermometer applied to the temporal artery. ⋯ The temporal artery thermometer is a substitute for the nasopharyngeal thermometer for core temperature measurement during anesthesia in children.
