Abstract

Reliable glycemia monitoring in critically ill patients is essential to safe care. Biases in measurements may result in imprecise values, causing healthcare teams to interpret results mistakenly and change therapeutic conducts toward improper directions. The aim of the present study was to search for the scientific production about factors related to accuracy and reliability of glycemia monitoring in patients admitted to intensive care units by consulting the CINAHLPubMedWeb of ScienceScopus andVirtual Health Library databases.Evidence from 18 papers that addressed accuracy and reliability in glycemia monitoring revealed aspects such as measurement method, sample type, characteristics of critically patients and equipment handling. Healthcare teams should consider the advantages and drawbacks of each method, taking into account their care realities and patient safety.
