Intraoperative and postoperative hyperglycemia from surgical stress and catabolism is associated with increased risk of infection, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, myocardial infarction, pericarditis, neurologic complications, and pulmonary complications.26,27 In addition, nothing by mouth after midnight may be misinterpreted as forgoing indicated preoperative medications such as beta blockers and aspirin, which reduce the risk of perioperative adverse cardiac events in specific patient populations.28

A significant positive relation has been found between maximal perioperative hyperglycaemia and perioperative mortality [1], as well as a 10-times higher risk of complications when postoperative glycaemia was > 2.5 g/L (13.5 mmol/L) [2]. In a retrospective study in 409 patients (20% diabetics), Gandhi et al. [3] concluded that perioperative hyperglycaemia was an independent risk factor for perioperative complications including mortality and infection and that an increase in glycaemia of 0.2 g/L (1.1 mmol/L) above 1 g/L (5.5 mmol/L) increased the risk of postoperative complications by 34%.
