Abstract:
Perioperative glycemic management remains an important variable in a host of postoperative outcomes, including wound infection, reoperation, and death. Patients with diabetes mellitus are increasingly utilizing continuous glucose monitors to assist with glycemic management; the ability to harness the intensive monitoring capabilities of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology perioperatively presents a promising opportunity to improve patient outcomes. Here, we assessed the accuracy of CGM compared to capillary point-of-care and arterial blood analysis in 2 cases where CGM was utilized as an adjunct method of perioperative glucose monitoring.
