Perioperative hyperglycemia
Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed58-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.
