Notably, up to one in 10 people who undergo surgery have unrecognized diabetes and an additional 10% may have postoperative hyperglycemia without meeting the criteria for a diagnosis of diabetes. Management of postoperative hyperglycemia has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of poor outcomes, but evidence demonstrates that postoperative hyperglycemia remains a quality gap for surgical patients. In this review, we will outline the evidence for preoperative screening for postoperative hyperglycemic risk, review the evidence for perioperative glycemic management, and examine the barriers to these best practices. RÉSUMÉ Les personnes atteintes de diabète courent un risque accru de voir leurs résultats postopératoires moins bons que ceux des personne non atteinte de diabète. En particulier, près d’une personne sur dix qui subit une intervention chirurgicale présente un diabète non diagnostiqué et dix pour cent supplémentaires peuvent présenter une hyperglycémie postopératoire sans pour autant répondre aux critères de diagnostic du diabète. Il a été démontré que le traitement de l’hyperglycémie postopératoire réduit l’incidence des mauvais résultats, mais les données probantes montrent que l’hyperglycémie postopératoire demeure une lacune chez les patients opérés. Dans cette revue, nous présentons les données probantes relatives au dépistage préopératoire du risque d’hyperglycémie postopératoire, nous passons en revue les données probantes relatives à la gestion de la glycémie périopératoire et nous examinons les obstacles à ces meilleures pratiques.

She complained of chest pain and dyspnea, and had hemodynamic instability, which responded to intravenous fluids. Continued fluid resuscitation, supplemental oxygen, as well as therapeutic dose low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) were administered in the ED. Computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiogram confirmed saddle pulmonary embolism (PE). After 12 h of continued chest pain and high oxygen requirements, a decision was made to use catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) involving alteplase with manual thrombus maceration in bilateral pulmonary arteries. There were no immediate hemorrhagic complications and follow-up fetal ultrasound demonstrated a normal viable intrauterine pregnancy. She clinically improved and was discharged on LMWH. Cesarean section was scheduled, and the patient delivered a healthy term infant at 37 weeks gestation without complications. Our case demonstrates that CDT may be a safe and effective treatment for submassive PE in pregnancy. RÉSUMÉ Une femme âgée de 33 ans et enceinte de huit semaines (G7P0) se présente aux urgences à la suite d’un épisode syncopal. Elle se plaint de douleurs thoraciques et de dyspnée et présente une instabilité hémodynamique qui répond aux solutés intraveineux. Une réanimation liquidienne continue, une oxygénothérapie ainsi qu’une dose thérapeutique d’héparine de faible poids moléculaire sont administrées aux urgences. L’angiographie pulmonaire par tomodensitométrie confirme une embolie pulmonaire en selle. Après 12 heures de douleurs thoraciques continues et de besoins élevés en oxygène, on décide d’utiliser la thrombolyse dirigée par cathéter (TDC) à l’aide de l’altéplase avec macération manuelle du thrombus dans les artères pulmonaires bilatérales. Il n’y a pas eu de complications hémorragiques immédiates et le suivi échographique du fœtus a démontré une grossesse intra utérine normale et viable. Son état clinique s’est amélioré et elle a obtenu son congé sous héparine de faible poids moléculaire. Une césarienne a été planifiée et la patiente a accouché d’un enfant à terme et en bonne santé à 37 semaines de grossesse, sans complications.

The most common cause is cardiac complications, of which myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) and perioperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) are common, affecting about 18 and 11% of adults, respectively, after noncardiac surgery. Patients who suffer MINS are at a higher risk of death compared to patients without MINS. Similarly, patients who develop POAF are at a higher risk of stroke and death compared to patients who do not. Most patients who suffer MINS are asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is not possible without routine troponin monitoring. Observational studies support the use of statins and aspirin in the management of patients with MINS. The only randomized controlled trial to date that has specifically addressed the management of MINS was the MANAGE trial that demonstrated the efficacy and safety of intermediate dose dabigatran in this population. There are no specific prediction models for POAF and no randomised controlled trial evidence to guide the specific management of POAF. Management guidelines in the acute period follow the management of nonoperative atrial fibrillation. The role of long-term anticoagulation in this population is still uncertain and should be guided by a shared care decision model with the patient, and with consideration of the individual risk for stroke balanced against the risk of bleeding. In this review, we present a case-based approach to the detection, prognosis, and management of MINS and POAF based on the existing evidence.\u0000RÉSUMÉUn patient sur 60 qui subit une intervention chirurgicale majeure non cardiaque meurt dans les 30 jours suivant l’opération.

Les patients présentant des LMCNC sont exposés à un risque plus élevé de décès que les patients qui ne présentent pas de LMCNC.

There is an abundance of emerging literature that these drugs are not only effective in the treatment of T2DM but also offer robust clinical benefits for renal disease, cardiovascular disease, and congestive heart failure. Despite the clinical benefits, SGLT-2 inhibitors may be underutilized as some physicians are unfamiliar with the medications or are concerned about their side-effect profile. Given the high prevalence of T2DM and the above comorbidities frequently encountered within Internal Medicine, it is important for internists to be familiar with SGLT-2 inhibitors. This is a short article encapsulating important aspects about these medications that we believe internists should know. RÉSUMÉ Les inhibiteurs du cotransporteur sodium-glucose de type 2 (SGLT-2) sont une classe relativement nouvelle de médicaments offerts au Canada et utilisés dans le traitement du diabète de type 2 (DT2). Une profusion de nouvelles études montre que ces médicaments sont non seulement efficaces dans le traitement du DT2, mais qu’ils offrent également de solides avantages cliniques pour les maladies rénales, les maladies cardiovasculaires et l’insuffisance cardiaque congestive. Malgré ces avantages cliniques, les inhibiteurs du SGLT-2 sont peut-être sous-utilisés, car certains médecins ne connaissent pas ces médicaments ou s’inquiètent de leur profil d’effets secondaires. Étant donné la forte prévalence du DT2 et les affections comorbides susmentionnées fréquemment rencontrées en médecine interne, il est important que les internistes connaissent bien les inhibiteurs du SGLT-2.

They yield a modest reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) between 0.5 and 1%, and cause a sustained average weight loss of 2–3kg after initiation.1,2 Although metformin is still recommended for first-line pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), multiple guidelines including Diabetes Canada are recommending C a n a d i a n J o u r n a l o f G e n e r a l I n t e r n a l M e d i c i n e 14 V o l u m e 1 6 , I s s u e 1 , 2 0 2 1 O r i g i n a l R e s e a r c h CJGIM_4_WKBK.indd 14 3/19/21 5:36 PM reducing the risk for cardiac decompensation.7,8 Internists should strongly consider the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM and CHF, and dapagliflozin for patients with CHF and an LVEF <40%, regardless of their diabetic status.
