Open Access Abstract Introduction Hyperglycaemia is detrimental but maintaining low blood glucose levels within tight limits is controversial in patients with severe traumatic brain injury because decreased blood glucose levels can induce and aggravate underlying brain injury. Methods In 228 propensity matched patients age sex and injury severity treated in our intensive care unit ICU from 2000 to 2004 we retrospectively evaluated the influence of different predefined blood glucose targets to versus 5 to 8 mmol l on frequency of hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic episodes insulin and norepinephrine requirement changes in intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure mortality and length of stay on the ICU. Results Mortality and length of ICU stay were similar in both blood glucose target groups. Blood
