Refining TGC: New Themes in the Literature & Challenges for Clinicians
 Webinar
Speaker:
James Krinsley, MD
Professor of Clinical
Medicine, Columbia
University College of Physicians
and Surgeons
Director of Critical Care at Stamford Hospital
Thought leaders agree that inpatient glucose control is
essential and suggest that the early Tight Glucose Control
protocols may need to be reexamined to maximize patient
outcomes. New findings also indicate that glycemic
variability may be an even more important predictor of
mortality in the critically ill than mean glucose level.
Dr. Krinsley’s presentation suggests that a
one-size-fits-all tight glucose control protocol may not be
the answer for every patient in every hospital’s ICU.
Instead, he suggests a new paradigm based on the latest
research – Safe, Effective Glycemic Control, or SEGC.

Hyperglycemia:
Overcoming Inertia

Even after
understanding the benefits of controlling
hyperglycemia in the hospital, many health care
providers and administrators are overwhelmed by
the challenges inherent in change.
Like steering
an oil tanker, changing protocols and practices
in a hospital can be a slow, methodical, and
often daunting process. But to improve the
quality of healthcare, inpatient hyperglycemia
must be controlled.
This webinar addresses
strategies that simplify the shift toward
effective glucose management and overcome the
inertia that impedes positive change.
