NCT00707434

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if The Guardian® blood-sugar monitoring device can be used reliably in patients with high blood sugar who are receiving care in the ICU. Researchers will compare blood-sugar measurements from the study device with blood-sugar measurements from the standard "fingerstick" method of blood-sugar testing. This is being done to see if the new device can accurately measure blood sugar.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean Relative Difference in Patient Glucose Monitoring: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Device as Compared With Point of Care (POC) Glucose Testing

    Mean relative difference will be calculated on a patient level assuming that at least 6 paired measurements will be collected from each patient. Outcome represents reliability of CGM device as compared with POC glucose testing where glucose values measured by POC will only be compared with the values read by the continuous glucose monitor sensor at the corresponding time points. The primary outcome for each patient is the mean relative difference defined as average of relative difference at each time point, where relative difference at each time point is calculated by taking difference in glucose values between CGM and POC and then divided by POC glucose value.

    Continuously monitor patient's glucose throughout their ICU stay for up to 15 days.

Study Arms (1)

Glucose Monitoring Device

EXPERIMENTAL

Continuous glucose monitoring in critically ill patients.

Device: Guardian® blood-sugar monitoring device

Interventions

The device has a small catheter that will be inserted subcutaneous tissue of the subject's abdomen or thigh set to continuously monitor glucose throughout the ICU stay for up to 15 days.

Also known as: Continuous Glucose Monitor, Medtronic Guardian
