Monocentric, Open Study to Investigate the Feasibility of Blood Glucose Control With the Space TGC System (With Incorporated Software-algorithm eMPC) in Medical ICU Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Space TGC for Critical Illness. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients and associated with an adverse outcome. Thus, glycaemic control is an important issue in critical care. Despite extensive efforts of the intensive care unit staff difficulties were experienced in achieving efficient and safe glucose control. A fully automated algorithm may help to overcome some of these limitations by excluding intuitive interventions and integrating relevant clinical data in the decision-making process. Space GlucoseControl (TGC system) is a decision support system which helps to achieve safe and reliable blood glucose control in the desired ranges. Information on parenteral and enteral nutrition is automatically integrated into the calculations. The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the performance and usability of the Space TGC system for glucose control in medical ICU patients.
