“Clinical Impact of Blood Glucose
Monitoring System Accuracy
in Critical
Care”
Point-of-care (POC) blood glucose
monitoring systems (BGMS) are used every day in hospitals
around the world—but are they safe for
use with all patients? Most hospital BGMS pose significant
safety risks to critically ill patients
because these BGMS have interferences common in critically
ill
patients. Interferences cause BGMS
inaccuracy, which results in over-reporting glucose,
over-dosing insulin, and increased
hypoglycemic events. Evidence demonstrates that BGMS
accuracy
improves glycemic control efficacy and
patient outcomes in critical care.
What will be covered?
This webinar will review the consequences of BGMS error on
hospitalized patients.
Focusing on newer generation hospital
BGMS, Tran will discuss the impact of BGMS
accuracy on glycemic control efficacy in
general and in two case studies of adult and
pediatric burn patients. He will
demonstrate how reducing BGMS error positively
impacts glycemic control outcomes.
