Technology for Hospital Management of Diabetes: Blood Glucose Measurements in Arterial Blood of Intensive Care Unit Patients Submitted to Tight Glycemic Control: Agreement between Bedside Tests

摘要

BackgroundImplementing tight glycemic control (TGC) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients requires accurate blood glucose (BG) monitoring. We evaluated the performance of two commercially available bedside glucometers, Accu-Chek^® and HemoCue^®, in patients admitted to the ICU and in whom TGC was applied.
