What is the glucose level that should be maintained for effective donor management?

For effective donor management, maintaining a glucose level of less than 200 mg/dL is critical. This threshold is important because elevated glucose levels can indicate poor metabolic control, which may negatively impact organ viability and function during the donation process. High glucose can lead to complications affecting the donor's organs, potentially compromising their quality for transplantation.

The choice of maintaining glucose levels below 200 mg/dL strikes a balance, ensuring that the levels are high enough to prevent hypoglycemia while still managing hyperglycemia effectively. This level is considered safe and conducive for maximizing organ preservation during the donor management process.
