Perioperative hyperglycemia

Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed

58-year-old man for Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. About 8 simulated minutes.

What you will practise

  • Confirm the elevated glucose with a point-of-care measurement rather than relying on an unverified cue.
  • Record an institutional insulin-protocol response without inventing an individualized dose.
  • Repeat the point-of-care glucose after the declared interval and interpret it against the perioperative target.
