In addition to the above issues, this chapter looks at the special problems of using POC glucose measurement in inpatient units and particularly in critical care settings, the impact of glucose meter accuracy in clinical decisions and the pitfalls that may occur, the distinction between...

... to test sugar in capillary blood (Dextrostix, Ames) with visual reading. This rather imprecise aid was soon integrated, and after 1967 fully substituted, by devices (reflectometers), the first one being the Glucose Reflectance Meter. The Museum owns about 150 such glucose-measuring devices, as well...

... differences exist among meter performances, such as the ability to withstand temperature extremes, stability in the presence of interfering substances, and stability at higher altitudes. The clinically most important interfering factor, namely, hematocrit (the cellular volume of the blood), has long been...

... recruited for comparison. Toassess whole body somatic protein stores, we devised the body protein index (BPI). Thevolume of body protein mass was measured by multifrequency bioelectrical impedanceanalysis and then BPI was calculated as body protein mass (kg) divided by height in meters(m2). Based on BPI, we...
