Background To evaluate clinical results, insulin resistance and inflammatory response to trauma in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy who received either traditional preoperative care or treatment following the ACERTO protocol.
Full description
Methods The population of the study consisted of morbidly obese patients, who were operated on with the Sleeve procedure, from Cuiaba, MT, between April and October 2012. We studied the inflammatory response and insulin resistance by measuring levels of glucose, insulin, Homa IR, reactive C protein, albumin, pre-albumin, alpha 1 acid glicoprotein, interleukin 6 and glycosylated hemoglobin. We also studied hydration, nausea and vomiting, hypertension, and length of hospital stay.
