Abstract
Purpose
The Nova StatStrip® Glucose Hospital Meter System (Nova Biomedical, Waltham, MA, USA) is United States Food and Drug Administration approved for point-of-care use in critically ill patients, but its use during cardiac surgery has not been evaluated. In this study, we compare glucose values obtained during cardiac surgery by StatStrip® with values obtained by a blood gas analyzer.
Methods
Blood glucose concentrations were analyzed in 121 patients by the StatStrip point- of-care test (POCT) glucose monitor and the GEM® Premier™ 3000 blood gas analyzer (Instrumentation Laboratory Company, Bedford MA, USA). Arterial blood samples were taken at baseline (before surgery), before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), during early and late CPB, and 30 min after CPB. Accuracy of the StatStrip glucometer was analyzed using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) POCT12-A3 criteria (criterion 1; 95% of samples should be ± 0.66 mMol·L−1 of reference glucose values < 5.5 mMol·L−1 and ± 12.5% for reference glucose values > 5.5 mMol·L−1, criterion 2; 98% of samples should be ± 0.83 mMol·L−1 of reference glucose values < 4.1 mMol·L−1 or 20% of the reference glucose for values > 4.1 mMol·L−1).
Results
The accuracy of StatStrip glucose measurements at baseline (99%, 100%) and before CPB (95%, 98%), but not during (early: 84%, 97%; late: 83%, 96%) and after (92%, 100%) CPB, satisfied the CLSI POCT12-A3 criteria.
Conclusion
Arterial blood glucose measurement by StatStrip was accurate before CPB, but lacked accuracy during and after CPB. Glucose values should be interpreted with caution when intensive glucose control protocols are being used during cardiac surgery.
