5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this present proposal is to examine the efficacy of GLP-1 administered to control blood glucose in critically ill patients.
Detailed Description
All patients whom on admission to the ICU (surgical, burn, & cardiac) who are expected to receive intensive insulin therapy for at least 72 hours are eligible to be enrolled. Once enrolled, the patients will be randomized to one of two groups: the experimental (intravenous GLP-1 infusion for 72 hours) or control groups (intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) infusion for 72 hours) in a double masked fashion. While enrolled, all patients will receive standard-of-care insulin therapy. Both groups will be maintained on the standard ICU specific protocol for glucose control.
