Glucose Measurement of Intensive Care Unit Patient Plasma Samples Using a Fixed-Wavelength Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy System

摘要

ObjectiveGlycemic control is a rapidly developing field in intensive care medicine with the aim of reducing mortality, morbidity, and cost. Current intensive care unit (ICU) glucose measurement technologies are susceptible to interference from medications, volume expanders, and other substances present in critically ill patients. We hypothesized that a fixed-wavelength mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy system would be accurate for measuring glucose levels of ICU patients.
