Excerpt

Glycaemic control remains an important therapeutic goal in critically ill patients; however, safety and workload are important concerns in its implementation. The enhanced model predictive control (eMPC) algorithm has demonstrated efficacy and safety in critically ill medical and surgical patients. It is integrated in the BBraun Space GlucoseControl system (SGC, project title: Space TGC) which consists of three Space pumps (two for nutrition, one for insulin). A central user interface (Space Control) and central hardware connected to Space Control (SGC Module) provide suggestions for insulin rate and glucose measurement interval. …
