Components of Insulin Pumps
Infusion Set
Reservoir
(for insulin)
Very thin cannula
in subcutaneous tissue
Picture from diabetes.niddk.nih.gov
How Does a Pump Work?
19
Reservoir is filled with rapid acting insulin
Infusion set—
administers insulin SQ 24 hours/day
often placed in the abdomen, thigh or hip/buttock area
patient can disconnect pump from the infusion set and reconnect
later (exception: disposable pumps)
Pump programmed to administer—
Basal – continuous rate/hour to maintain glucose control when
NOT eating
Prandial – bolus per patient for nutrition intake
Correction – bolus per patient for high glucose
Patient should NOT be disconnected from the pump for more than
1 to 2 hours
Meal Planning with Diabetes
Carbohydrate Foods
Fruit and
Milk and yogurt
fruit juices
Starch

Sweets
pasta, cereal)

Hypoglycemia is defined by the
American Diabetes Association as a blood glucose

Some patients have symptoms at higher glucose levels.

Pre-Surgery Glucose Management
OUTPATIENTS
Monitor
glucose morning of procedure and every
4 hours until procedure
Correct HYPERglycemia per usual routine if using
sliding (correction) scale insulin
For symptoms of HYPOglycemia or blood glucose
<100 mg/dL, drink 4 oz of CLEAR fruit juice. Then
monitor glucose every 15 minutes. Repeat treatment
until glucose >100 mg/dL.
Hospital or procedure areas will manage glucose upon
arrival.
Pre-Surgery Glucose Management (2)
INPATIENTS
Monitor
glucose prior to procedure
Correct HYPERglycemia per sliding (correction) scale
insulin or per physician order
Follow HYPOglycemia protocol if needed
Preoperative nursing will manage glucose per
Anesthesia orders after arrival to surgical area
Hyperglycemia Pre-Surgery
Causes
Inappropriate
discontinuation of diabetes medication
History of poor glucose control
Stress hyperglycemia
When to post-pone surgery
Acute
complications of hyperglycemia
Dehydration
Ketoacidosis

Hypoglycemia Pre-Surgery
Hypoglycemia is defined by the
American Diabetes Association as a blood glucose
less than 70 mg/dL.
Some patients have symptoms at higher glucose levels.

undergoing noncardiac surgery. Annals of Surgery. 253(1), 158-165.

Patients with hyperglycemia on the day of surgery
who received insulin (with or without diabetes) had no
significant increase in these adverse outcomes

Insulin pumps are a SAFETY concern perioperatively
Several
different models available

tubing, without tubing, wireless, disposable
Continuous glucose sensor
Cannot
be exposed to MRI, CT scans and X-rays
Basal rate may not be accurate when patient NPO
Patient not alert to self-manage!
There are NO standardized guidelines!
CSII Perioperative Guidelines
Abbott NW Hospital task team developed
Clinical
specialist, anesthesia, managers, pharmacy,
nursing, medical safety officer
CSII may be considered—
For
surgical procedures 2 hours or less of actual
scheduled OR time
If the infusion site is not located in the operative area
If glucose <300 mg/dL
If there will be no MRI, CT scan or X-rays
CSII Perioperative Guidelines (2)
Preoperative
Metered
glucose within 60 minutes of arrival
RN contacts Diabetes CNS or hospitalist for assessment
Decision made if CSII or alternative insulin plan
Close
relationship with Anesthesia
Diabetes CNS or hospitalist documents recommendations
CSII Perioperative Guidelines (3)
Intraoperative
CSII
if meets criteria

Postoperative
Metered

RN contacts Diabetes CNS or hospitalist
Decision made if—
Safe

Summary
Know the type of diabetes for which your patient has
been diagnosed
Assess glucoses regularly perioperatively
Know what medication your patient takes for glucose
management
What medication and dose was taken evening prior and the
day of surgery
Assess if your patient has experienced hypoglycemia
overnight prior and the day of surgery
If your patient uses a CSII, collaborate with the
perioperative team for safe use with surgery
