Provision of balanced nutrition protects against hypoglycemia in the critically ill surgical patientRondi M Kauffmann
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, USA
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 35:686-94. 2011..The authors hypothesized that the provision of balanced nutrition (enteral nutrition [EN] or parenteral nutrition [PN]) would be more protective against hypoglycemia (≤50 mg/dL) than carbohydrate alone...
Increasing blood glucose variability heralds hypoglycemia in the critically illRondi M Kauffmann
Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
J Surg Res 170:257-64. 2011..We hypothesized that differences in BGV over time are associated with hypoglycemia and can be utilized to estimate risk of hypoglycemia (<50 mg/dL)...

J Bone Joint Surg Am 94:1181-6. 2012..We hypothesized that hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for thirty-day surgical-site infection in orthopaedic trauma patients without a history of diabetes at hospital admission...
Trends in estradiol during critical illness are associated with mortality independent of admission estradiolRondi M Kauffmann
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN 37212, USA
J Am Coll Surg 212:703-12; discussion 712-3. 2011..We hypothesized that changes from baseline serum E(2) during the course of critical illness are more strongly associated with mortality than a single E(2) level at admission...
The place for glycemic control in the surgical patientAddison K May
Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, USA
Surg Infect (Larchmt) 12:405-18. 2011..We provide an overview of the physiologic contributors to hyperglycemia and its control, review the differences in the major randomized trial results, and summarize the data regarding glycemic control in surgical patients...
