Comparison of point-of-care and laboratory glucose analysis in critically ill patients.
BACKGROUND Blood for point-of-care analysis of glucose levels is often obtained from different sources (fingerstick, arterial or central venous catheter). OBJECTIVES To examine agreement between point-of-care and laboratory glucose values and to determine effects of hematocrit, serum carbon dioxide, and mean arterial pressure on the accuracy of point-of-care values. METHODS Point-of-care va...
متن کاملIdentifying high and low serum-ascites albumin gradient in ascitic fluid by the point of care dipstick test
Objective: To evaluate the capability of ascitic fluid dipstick results for pH, glucose, and protein in order to predict a low serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) at the bedside of the patient in the emergency department (ED). Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted during one year in the ED of Afzalipour hospital in Kerman, Iran. ...
متن کاملAnemia causes hypoglycemia in intensive care unit patients due to error in single-channel glucometers: methods of reducing patient risk.
OBJECTIVE Intensive insulin therapy in the critically ill reduces mortality but carries the risk of increased hypoglycemia. Point-of-care blood glucose analysis is standard; however, anemia causes falsely high values and potentially masks hypoglycemia. Permissive anemia is practiced routinely in most intensive care units. We hypothesized that point-of-care glucometer error due to anemia is prev...
متن کاملAccuracy of bedside glucose measurement from three glucometers in critically ill patients.
OBJECTIVE Implementation of strict glucose control in most intensive care units has resulted in increased use of point-of-care glucose devices in the intensive care unit. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of point-of-care testing glucose meters among critically ill patients under intensive insulin treatment. DESIGN Prospective observational study. PATIENTS Intensive car...
متن کاملEvaluation of point-of-care blood glucose measurements in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome admitted to a critical care unit.
BACKGROUND Point-of-care (POC) blood glucose (BG) measurement is currently not recommended in the treatment of patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS). METHODS We prospectively evaluated and compared capillary and venous POC BG values with laboratory venous glucose in patients with DKA or HHS admitted to one critical care unit over 8 m...
متن کاملBlood glucose measurements in the critically ill: more than just a blood draw
A crucial determinant for the success of intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients is the frequent and accurate measurement of blood glucose values with immediate feedback of results. In general, therefore, this is achieved by point-of-care testing, raising the question of the best way of monitoring blood glucose. Corstjens and coworkers, in the previous issue of Critical Care, demon...
