A study at Universitaire Ziekenhuizen Leuven assessed the impact of a blood glucose (BG) alert generated by MetaVision on tight glycaemic control (TGC) in the ICU. The study found that the alert was able to further improve the quality of BG control, as shown by a reduced mean BG per patient, a lower glycaemic penalty index and hyperglycaemic index, and a lower number of patients with hyperglycaemia, without increasing the need for blood sampling. According to the study, “The finding that a simple electronic alert system can improve the quality and safety of TGC, even in a setting where protocols for TGC were already in place at a high level of experience, is striking.”
