Popis: | The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of treating patients using a novel intravenous continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system (GlucoClear™ Edwards Lifesciences). The practical benefit of controlling blood glucose in the critically ill remains contentious, largely because of the lack of tools to adequately measure and therefore manage levels in real time. A system that is able to provide instant, constantly calibrated, accurate values is a major bonus to ICU care and we report here the first clinical use of a novel CGM system directly used to manage postoperative glycaemia. |
