I. Background and Objective
A. Background: Recently, strict control of glucose (80-110mg/dl) has been investigated to be associated with low morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. However, the hypoglycemia was a big problem in strict control of glucose. Also, strict control of glucose needs a lot of medical resources, which makes it hard to implement the strict glucose control system into real practice.
B. Objective: To develop automatic continuous glucose control system to mitigate the hypoglycemic event and to reduce the need for medical resources, especially overloading of nurse.
II. Contents of study
A. To show the feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring in critically ill patients
B. To develop the mathematical model for glucose-insulin control
C. To systemize and optimize the developed mathematical model
III. Results
A. We showed the feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring system in critically ill patients.
B. We developed the mathematical model for continuous glucose-insulin control.
C. We applied the developed model to the "Virtual" critically ill patients, and confirmed the feasibility of the model.
D. Finally, we applied the model to real critically ill patients, and found that it could be used in real critically ill patient safely and effectively.
