Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[The treatment of hyperglycaemia in critically ill patients: comparison of standard protocol and computer algorithm].
Hyperglycemia is commonly observed in patients hospitalized on intensive care units. It is has been demonstrated that normalization of blood glucose level using intensive insulin therapy significantly improves prognosis of these patients. The aim of our study was comparison of standard protocol of intensive insulin therapy used on cardiac surgery ICU in General University Hospital in Prague and computer algorithm MPC (Model Predictive Control). ⋯ Our results show that the use of MPC algorithm result in more effective blood glucose control in critically ill patients than standard protocol.
