Effective implementation of peri-operative local guidelines for metabolic surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus in a tier 4 setting demonstrate improved work efficiency and resource allocation
2018
Background
Dynamic changes in glycaemia predominate peri-operatively in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing metabolic surgery. There is a lack of consensus and clear guidance on effective glycaemic management of such patients. The aim of this study was to design, pilot, and implement a proforma to improve consistency of glycaemic management and clarity of communication with healthcare professionals following metabolic surgery in patients with T2DM, thereby reducing unnecessary diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) referrals.
