NCT06861881

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to test the accuracy of the Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring device during the cardiothoracic surgical procedure and recovery period in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Readings from the device will be compared with the standard of care blood glucose levels that are obtained during your surgery and postoperatively.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Continuous Glucose Monitoring Accuracy Compared to Point-of-Care Measurements

    Glucose values (mg/dL) from the continuous glucose monitoring will be compared to glucose values obtained from point-of-care arterial blood gas and/or fingerstick capillary glucose measurements.

    Up to Day 10

  • Percentage of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Accuracy with Vasopressor Use

    Glucose values from the continuous glucose monitoring will be compared to glucose values obtained from point-of-care arterial blood gas measurements when vasopressors are utilized for hemodynamic optimization.

    Up to Day 10

  • Percentage of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Accuracy with Hypothermia

    Glucose values from the continuous glucose monitoring will be compared to glucose values obtained from point-of-care arterial blood gas measurements during the hypothermic period intraoperatively.

    Day 1

  • Percentage of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Accuracy with Acidosis

    Glucose values from the continuous glucose monitoring will be compared to glucose values obtained from point-of-care arterial blood gas measurements intraoperatively when the participant is acidotic.

    Up to Day 10

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of Continuous Glucose Monitor Malfunction

    Up to Day 10

  • Duration of Time Continuous Glucose Monitor Experienced Sensor Loss

    Up to Day 10

  • Continuous Glucose Monitor Measurement Expenses

    Up to Day 10

Study Arms (1)

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will wear the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor continuously during their cardiothoracic surgery and throughout their time admitted to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit.

Device: Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitor

Interventions

Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor will be placed prior to cardiac surgery. It will be worn continuously throughout the perioperative period and during the time admitted to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit.
