Objective: The carbohydrate metabolism dysfunctions are common in critical ill patients with diabetes or stress hyperglycaemia and the correct management of them has an important prognostic value. Despite its limitations, capillary glucose (CG) was collected more than arterial glucose (gold standard) because of its good correlation. However, the usefulness of intermittent intersticial glucose monitoring (IGM) in keeping blood glucose within target range in critical ill patient...

Objective: Optimal glycemic management in critically ill patients with diabetes or stress hyperglycemia has prognostic value. For adjustment, the most used measurement in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the capillary glucose. In this study, we compare intersticial glucose (IG) and capillary glucose (CG) concentrations to assess the applicability of sensor placement in patients requiring vasoactive agents.Materials and Methods: Prospective longitudinal o...
