Why Accurate Insulin Dosing is Critical to Treatment of Wounds
Prior to 1921, little was known about the function of the pancreas, and a diagnosis of diabetes almost invariably led to mortality. As insulin enjoyed wider therapeutic application, patient outcomes dramatically improved, and this was not limited to those with diabetes. According to an article on the history of insulin by Michael Hrynyk and Ronald Neufeld, “Insulin’s role in wound...

How Better Care Drives Value
While the amount of hospital resources wasted on medical supplies is relatively easy to calculate, the more insidious expenses – clinical personnel costs – are more difficult to quantify. However, when a Roanoke, Virginia hospital set out to improve patient outcomes by standardizing insulin dosing protocols, the facility discovered substantial savings by mechanizing this process....

Effective Glucose Management in Therapeutic Hypothermia Can Save Patient Neurological Function
Inducing mild hypothermia in some patients with cardiac arrest and other traumatic events has proven to significantly improve their long-term neurological function. Many experts feel that this is one of the most important advancements in the history of the science of resuscitation. According to Dr. Jonathan Adler, writing in Medscape, patients who have been shown to benefit from induced hypothermia...

Effectively Managing Blood Glucose in Patients With Renal Failure
Kidneys can be injured by a number of reasons. In the United States alone, more than 26 million people are estimated to have chronic kidney disease (CKD), although most don’t know it because early signs are often missed. “While diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure that does not mean that everyone with diabetes will develop CKD severe enough...

How EndoTool is Both Predictive and Prescriptive
Recently, there have been product announcements from companies in the glucose management space promoting new tools to “predict” hypoglycemia. There is a big difference between products that market hypoglycemia’s predictive ability and the EndoTool technology. EndoTool not only predicts changes in glucose levels, it also takes the next step in terms of treatment by adjusting insulin dosing recommendations for every...

The Patient Safety Movement Pledge to Improve Prevention of Severe Hypoglycemia: Part 2
Hypoglycemic events can be life-threatening, especially for patients with diabetes. Severe hypoglycemia is associated with increased morbidity, length of stay, and mortality. As we mentioned in part 1 of this series, over 200,000 patients die unnecessarily in US hospitals each year, and the Patient Safety Movement mission is to eliminate these deaths by 2020. While looking to improve prevention of...
