BACKGROUND Maintaining glucose in the target range, while avoiding hypoglycemia, is challenging in critically ill patients. We investigated the performance and safety of Medtronic Sentrino, a newly developed continuous glucose management (CGM) system for critically ill adults. METHODS This was a prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-label study in adult patients with cardiac ICU admiss...

BACKGROUND Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices estimate plasma glucose (PG) from measurements in compartments alternative to blood. The accuracy of currently available CGM is yet unsatisfactory and may depend on the implemented calibration algorithms, which do not compensate adequately for the differences of glucose dynamics between the compartments. Here we propose and validate an inno...

BACKGROUND Standard care for infants on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) relies on intermittent measurement of blood glucose (BG); however, this can lead to significant changes in BG that go unrecognized for several hours. The present study was designed to assess performance and clinical applicability of a subcutaneous glucose sensor technology modified for use as a blood-contacting sensor wi...

The utilization of the spiral tube heat exchanger (SHE) has become increasingly prevalent in large-scale liquefaction processes. However, flow pattern and frictional pressure drop two-phase have been scarcely studied, particularly under offshore sloshing conditions. An experimental system had developed to explore characteristics mixed hydrocarbon fluid a tube. Moreover, these order examine effe...
