Comparing blood gas tests in ICU patients with and without diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of blood tests (from a vein and an artery) to see if they give similar information about oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in critically ill patients, especially those with diabetes. The results may help doctors choose the best way to monitor patients in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You already have a central venous catheter (a thin tube in a large vein) and an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery) placed as part of your routine care.
- You or your legal next of kin can give written permission to join the study.

This trial compares two ways of giving insulin through an IV to adults with diabetes in the intensive care unit to find which works better for controlling blood sugar.
This trial is testing two ways of monitoring blood sugar in intensive care patients: continuous monitoring (a sensor) versus intermittent checks. If you are in the ICU with high blood sugar and on IV insulin, this study might help find a better way to manage your levels.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test ratio can help predict how well critically ill patients do in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand if stress-related high blood sugar affects recovery.
This study looks at the relationship between blood pressure and the amount of blood the heart pumps in critically ill patients. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition in the ICU.
This study is testing how immune cells use sugar (glucose) in people who are in the intensive care unit (ICU). By doing this test, researchers hope to learn more about how the body fights illness during critical care, which could lead to better treatments.
This study is testing two different simple blood tests to see which one better predicts sepsis (a severe infection response) and outcomes in ICU patients after surgery or trauma. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients sooner and improve care.
