The Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Combined with Computer-Based eMPC Algorithm for Tight Glucose Control in Cardiosurgical ICU

Table 2

The study blood glucose control data. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. The percentages of time in the specific ranges were calculated as number of hours in the selected range in each patient/24 * 100.
