Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Multicentric, randomized, controlled trial to evaluate blood glucose control by the model predictive control algorithm versus routine glucose management protocols in intensive care unit patients.
To evaluate a fully automated algorithm for the establishment of tight glycemic control in critically ill patients and to compare the results with different routine glucose management protocols of three intensive care units (ICUs) across Europe (Graz, Prague, and London). ⋯ The data suggest that the MPC algorithm is safe and effective in controlling glycemia in critically ill postsurgery patients.
