Closed-loop glucose control in critically ill patients using continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in real time.

A study was conducted to determine if continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring (from MiniMed CGMS) could be used in real-time to control blood sugar level (BSL) in patients with critical illness. A closed-loop control system was constructed to use CGMS in a real-time manner, coupled with a proport...
