The infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) has yielded conflicting results in terms of cardioprotective effects. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the impact of perioperative GIK infusion in early outcome after cardiac surgery. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible if they examined the efficacy of GIK infusion in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. The main study endpoint was postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) and secondary outcomes were hemodynamics, any complications and hospital resources utilization. Subgroup analyses explored the impact of the type of surgery, GIK composition and timing of administration. Odds ratio (OR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated with a random-effects model. Fifty-three studies (n=6129) met the inclusion criteria. Perioperative GIK infusion was effective in reducing MI (k=32 OR 0.66[0.48, 0.89] P=0.0069), acute kidney injury (k=7 OR 0.57[0.4, 0.82] P=0.0023) and hospital length of stay (k=19 MD -0.89[-1.63, -0.16] days P=0.0175). Postoperatively, the GIK-treated group presented higher cardiac index (k=14 MD 0.43[0.29, 0.57] L/min P<0.0001) and lesser hyperglycemia (k=20 MD -30[-47, -13] mg/dL P=0.0005) than in the usual care group. The GIK-associated protection for MI was effective when insulin infusion rate exceeded 2 mUI/kg/min and after coronary artery bypass surgery. Certainty of evidence was low given imprecision of the effect estimate, heterogeneity in outcome definition and risk of bias. Perioperative GIK infusion is associated with improved early outcome and reduced hospital resource utilization after cardiac surgery. Supporting evidence is heterogenous and further research is needed to standardize the optimal timing and composition of GIK solutions.
