Abstract Introduction Intensive insulin treatment of critically ill patients was seen as a promising method of treatment though recent studies showed that reducing the blood glucose level below 6 mmol l had a detrimental outcome. The mechanisms of the effects of insulin in the critically ill are not completely understood. The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that intensive insulin treatment may influence forearm blood flow independently of global hemodynamic indicators. Methods The study encompassed 29 patients of both sexes who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to sepsis and required artificial ventilation as the result of acute respiratory failure. 14 patients were randomly selected for intensive insulin treatment Group 1 blood glucose .
