Comparing the accuracy of POC vers. Lab. (Capillary,Venous and arte-rial) blood glucose level in severely shocked verse non-shocked critically Ill patients

Background: Glucose monitoring among critically-ill patients has been a topic of attention for long time to prevent both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, which is important in an intensive care unit. Use point blood glucose meters within some critically ill patient populations resulted varying degrees confusion about off-label use potential discrepancies results. The aim this study was compare the accuracy capillary venous/arterial samples verse by laboratory testing shocked non-shocked patients. Methodology: This prospective case control that conducted 268 critical whom, capillary, Venous arterial Blood Sample during routine requested treating physician will be done same bedside nurse. King Fahd Miliary Medical Complex Dhahran Saudi Arabia. Results: In study, we were able collect data results showed no significant difference between POCT lap venous central (P=0.389 0.208) where slightly higher with concentration 10.18 10.05 (POCT lab tests respectively) 9.18 9.54 respectively. Moreover, mean POC analysis venous, 1.03, -1.8 0.7 mmol. Conclusion: We did not find regular concentrations except glucose. Using accurate compared analysis.
