Efficacy and safety of glucose control with Space GlucoseControl in the medical intensive care unit--an open clinical investigation.
We aimed to investigate the performance of the Space GlucoseControl system (SGC) (B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany) in medical critically ill patients. The SGC is a nurse-driven, computer-assisted device for glycemic control combining infusion pumps with the enhanced Model Predictive Control algorithm. ⋯ SGC is a safe and efficient method to control blood glucose in critically ill patients in the medical intensive care unit.
