Sliding-scale Insulin Therapy: an Ineffective Option for Inpatient Glycemic ControlIn-hospital hyperglycemia negatively affects patient outcomes and healthcare costs, particularly in critically ill patients. Inpatient hyperglycemia is a significant problem, regardless of one?s diabetes history, and can ...
Two sliding scale regular human insulin (RHI) algorithms (SSI) were retrospectively evaluated to identify those who develop severe hyperglycemia (blood glucose (BG) > 180 mg/dL) and for glycemic management of continuously-fed, critically ill trauma patients with mild to moderate hyperglycemia (BG ...
First, we generate a saliency map S for the image I following the process proposed in [17]. Afterwards, we scan S(I) via the sliding window technique. Then, the image is downsampled by a scale factor and the process above is repeated, as illustrated in Figure 4. B. Pedestrian ...
As Dr Katz points out, several alternative insulin regimens are more scientifically sound and probably take no longer to implement. He describes the problems involved with the sliding-scale approach, cases in which it may be useful, and specific details to watch to improve its effectiveness....
