1 Improving Glycemic Control for Post-Operative Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Nurse Practitioner Led Project Linda Kerr, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, CDE

2 Problem Statement Hyperglycemia during the first 48 hours following cardiac surgery has been found to be independently associated in the incidence of Deep Sternal Wound Infection (DSWI) (Furnary et al., 2004). Hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients is an independent predictor of mortality for cardiac surgery patients, with or without diabetes (Lazar et al., 2009). Intensive insulin therapy has been shown to increase the occurrence of hypoglycemia and result in complications and adverse clinical outcomes (Preiser et al., 2009). The complexity of insulin therapy, and strategies surrounding planned staff education opportunities, requires clinical providers that are knowledgeable in glycemic management (Moghissi et al., 2009).

3 Background & Significance Study organization: Long Beach Memorial, CA Cardiac surgery patients: Diabetes: 30-40% A1c 5.7% or higher: 60% Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) (9) Quality measures Value-based purchasing measures SCIP-inf-4 glycemic measure Benchmark 99.6%

4 Background & Significance Autonomous NP led team Standardized glycemic processes RN: Cardiac insulin infusion order set NP: Individualized insulin therapy POD 2 Staff education Day shift RNs Nutrition Carbohydrates: 60 grams/meal Sugar free snacks: not consistent

5 Interventions Gap Analysis Environmental stress CCU Census: 42% increase Patient Acuity More regulatory requirements Cardiac insulin infusion order set Inconsistent adherence to order set Nutrition Reduced carbohydrate meals Sugar free snacks Night shift nurse NP Led Intervention Plan RN education: All shifts New SCIP-inf-4 Insulin orders Nutrition Nutrition orders Standardized NP team Individualized insulin: POD 1 Increase availability Clinician Coach Consultant Educator

6 PICO(t) Question Among adult cardiac surgery patients (P), what is the effect of nurse practitioner (NP) led insulin management and glycemic-related process changes (I), compared to existing standards of glycemic care(c), on post-operative hyperglycemia (O)

7 Clinical Scholarly Project (CSP) Aim 1. To determine the effectiveness of an NP led team in improving glycemic control of cardiac surgery patients Aim 2. To determine if NP team management would inadvertently increase the incidence of hypoglycemia Aim 3. To evaluate the CCU nurse s assessment of the clinical change process

8 Literature Review Furnary, et al., (1999) Cardiac surgery patients 2,467 prospective, consecutive diabetic patients Insulin infusion vs sliding scale insulin (SSI) Results Insulin infusion: Significant reduction Perioperative glucose Major infectious morbidity

9 Literature Review Finfer et al. (2009) NICE-SUGAR ICU patient Large, international, randomized trial, 6104 patients Intensive glucose control vs conventional glucose control Results: Intensive glucose control group Increased mortality Increased deaths from cardiovascular causes Preiser et al. (2009) Glucontrol Study ICU patients Prospective randomized controlled trial, 1,750 (1,101) Intensive glucose control vs Intermediate glucose control Results: Intensive glucose control group Prematurely stopped Increased Hypoglycemia

10 Literature Review Inpatient glycemic control Moghissi et al. (2009) Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), The American Diabetes Association (ADA) Umpierrez et al. (2012) The Endocrine Society, Clinical Practice Guidelines Cardiac surgery and glycemic control Lazar et al. (2009) Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Health System Pharmacy Cobaugh et al. (2013)

11 Literature Review Meyer & Miers (2005) Cardiac surgery Retrospective, 2-group comparison Cardiovascular surgeons Cardiovascular surgeons teamed with acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) Economic outcomes: Length of stay & total cost Results Cardiac surgeons + ACNP team

12 Theoretical Framework Figure 1. Knowledge to Action Theory (Straus, Tetroe, & Graham, 2009) Figure 2. Conceptual framework of acute care nurse practitioner role enactment, boundary work, and perceptions of team effectiveness (Kilpatrick et al., 2013)

13 Methodology Design: Single-center descriptive, comparative analysis of an NP led quality improvement project. Pre-intervention: Retrospective chart review Post-intervention: Real time chart review Inclusion Criteria: 18 years of age or greater Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) Mitral valve repair/replacement (MVR) Aortic valve repair/replacement (AVR) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) Exclusion Criteria: Three or more vasopressors and 20 or more units per hour insulin infusion on postoperative day one Expired prior to discharge Did not require insulin infusion postoperatively Allergic to Levemir (insulin detemir)

14 Methodology Data Analysis SPSS Descriptive Patient demographics Population characteristics Sample Size 183 patients Statistical Tests The Chi-squared test Categorical variables Independent t-test Continuous variables Significance, p -value less than.05
