Blood glucose concentrations in prehospital trauma patients with traumatic shock: A retrospective analysis

imageBACKGROUND Deranged glucose metabolism after moderate to severe trauma with either high or low concentrations of blood glucose is associated with poorer outcome. Data on prehospital blood glucose concentrations and trauma are scarce. OBJECTIVES The primary aim was to describe the relationship between traumatic shock and prehospital blood glucose concentrations. The secondary aim was to determine the additional predictive value of prehospital blood glucose concentration for traumatic shock when compared with vital parameters alone. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of the predefined, observational database of a nationwide Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (34 bases). SETTING Emergency trauma patients treated by Helicopter Emergency Medical Service between 2005 and 2013 were investigated. PATIENTS All adult trauma patients (≥18 years) with recorded blood glucose concentrations were enrolled. OUTCOMES Primary outcome: upper and lower thresholds of blood glucose concentration more commonly associated with traumatic shock. Secondary outcome: additional predictive value of prehospital blood glucose concentrations when compared with vital parameters alone. RESULTS Of 51 936 trauma patients, 20 177 were included. In total, 220 (1.1%) patients died on scene. Hypoglycaemia (blood glucose concentration 2.8 mmol l−1 or less) was observed in 132 (0.7%) patients, hyperglycaemia (blood glucose concentration exceeding 15 mmol l−1) was observed in 265 patients (1.3%). Blood glucose concentrations more than 10 mmol l−1 (n = 1308 (6.5%)) and 2.8 mmol l−1 or less were more common in patients with traumatic shock (P
