Continuous arterial and venous glucose monitoring by quenched chemical fluorescence in ICU patients after cardiac surgery

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in ICUs has the potential to improve patient safety outcomes. The GluCath Intravascular CGM System uses a novel quenched chemical fluorescence sensing mechanism to measure glucose concentration in venous or arterial blood (BG). This is the first report of this system deployed for 48 hours in both arteries and veins of ICU patients.
