Perioperative Fully Closed-loop Versus Usual Care Glucose Management in Adults Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Two-centre Randomized Controlled Trial

Ann SurgPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The FCL approach resulted in significantly better glycemic control compared with UC management, without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
