Support Safe Transitions From IV Insulin in the ICU

You’ll be needed to help transition patients from continuous IV to subcutaneous insulin in the ICU.

Continuous IV insulin is used in the ICU to stabilize blood glucose when it’s too high due to diabetes or stress from illness.

Insulin is also a high-risk med. IV-to-subcut insulin mix-ups can delay care and lead to dangerously low blood glucose, or hypoglycemia.
