About this study
Official title: Comparison of Blood Glucose Measurement Values Taken by Different Methods in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Patients
Purpose: It is one of the important nursing interventions for patients in intensive care units with strict glycemic protocol to determine whether glucose values are different for a bedside glucose meter compared to the main clinical laboratory and whether the blood sampling site has a significant effect on glucose values. In this study, it is aimed to compare whether there is a difference between blood samples from venous, arterial, capillary and thumb base region, which is defined as an alternative region to the fingertip, in blood glucose level measurement, and to compare the consistency between the thumb base region and fingertip region and pain and results of the different methods used.
Methods: The universe of the research consists of Bursa Uludağ University Health Practice and Patients will be hospitalized in the General Surgery Intensive Care Unit of the Research Center between April and September 2023. 125 patients who meet the sample selection criteria will form the sample of the study. The sample size of the study was determined statistically with the G*Power (3.1.7) program. Comparison of blood glucose measurement taken with different methods in the power analysis to determine the sample size. When the effect size of blood glucose was determined as 0.9, it was calculated that a total of 125 patients should be included for a significance level of 0.05 and a power of 80%.

Read the detailed description
Purpose: In this study, it is aimed to compare whether there is a difference between blood samples from venous, arterial, capillary, and thumb base regions, which is defined as an alternative region to the fingertip, in blood glucose level measurement, and to compare the consistency between the thumb base region and fingertip region and pain and results of the different methods used.
Design: This is a quasi-experimental study with a single group and simultaneous (matched) sample will conduct to determine whether glucose values are different for a bedside glucose meter compared to the main clinical laboratory and whether the blood sampling site has a significant effect on glucose values.
A central venous catheter blood sample will be taken from the patient by the guideline recommendations and placed in the biochemistry tube and taken to the laboratory by the researchers. This result is studied by the "biochemistry-glucose test" laboratory.
A capillary blood sample (right/left fingertip; thumb base) from the same patient will be evaluated with a glucometer (Accu-check).
Finally, from the same patient, the transducer set to which the arterial catheterization is connected will first be washed with 5 ccs 1% heparin, and blood glucose will be measured by taking a blood sample from the catheter. Then, it will be washed with 10 ccs 1% heparin and a blood sample will be taken from the catheter and blood glucose measurement will be made. An arterial blood sample (right/left fingertip; thumb base) from the same patient will be evaluated with a glucometer (Accu-check).
The purpose of examining this difference is whether a routine transduce set washing has an effect on blood glucose measurement in blood samples taken from patients with arterial catheterization. In total, blood samples will be collected from 3 different sites (central venous catheter, capillary, and arterial catheterization) in the same patient. In total, with 5 different techniques from 3 different regions of the same patient;
ARTERIAL BLOOD SAMPLE i) Washing with 5 ccs 1% Heparin fluid ii) Washing with 10 ccs 1% Heparin fluid CAPILAR BLOOD SAMPLE iii) Right / Left Fingertip iv) Thumb base CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERIZATION BLOOD SAMPLE will be collected.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Blood Glucose Measurement
In this comparison, the central venous catheter blood glucose measurement value will be taken as a baseline.
Measured: baseline
Secondary outcomes (2)
Behavioral Pain Scale
The behavioral pain scale consists of three main variables including facial expression, upper extremity, and compliance with the ventilator. An increase in the obtained score indicates an increase in the level of pain. The first items in each sub-dimension describe the absence of pain, the second items describe mild, the third items moderate, and the fourth items describe increased pain levels. Each sub-dimension is scored between 1 (no response to pain) and 4 (complete response to pain). The lowest score obtained from the scale is 3 and the highest score is 12. As the score increases, the level of pain increases. The first items indicate no pain, the second items indicate mild pain, the third items indicate the presence of moderate pain, and the fourth items indicate the presence of severe pain. The behavioral pain scale has been proven to be valid and reliable for assessing pain in intubated patients in the ICU.
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Visual Analog Scale
It is a one-dimensional scale used in the measurement of VAS pain. Among the one-dimensional scales used to determine the severity of pain in patients, it was determined that the VAS measures more sensitively and is more reliable. The scale consists of a 100 mm long horizontal line. On one end are the phrases "No Pain" and on the other end "Unbearable Pain" describing the most severe pain possible. The patient is asked to mark his pain on the scale. The length of the line from the starting point of the scale to the point marked by the patient is measured and recorded in mm. After capillary blood glucose measurement is made, the patients will be educated by the researcher about the use of VAS before the research and the patients will be asked to evaluate their pain using VAS. It will be recorded in the data collection form as the numerical value obtained by measuring the point where the patient marked on the scale.
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Blood Glucose Measurement Values Taken by Different Methods in people with Pain, Acute and Glucose Test Site Bleeding, run by Uludag University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Hülya Yılmaz, PhD, Msc (+905395876207, hlyyilmaz@uludag.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Blood Glucose Measurement (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05848362, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2023.
