Tight control of blood glucose levels has been shown to reduce complications in these groups and, importantly, mortality rates in the critically ill. For this population, a model-based adaptive control protocol is being developed to achieve a tight blood glucose control. The model is validated in this research by fitting it to insulin and glucose dynamics of a euglycaemic clamp trial, which is considered the ‘gold-standard’ of insulin sensitivity assessmentsenConference Contributions - OtherFields of Research::290000 Engineering and Technology::291500 Biomedical Engineering::290599 Biomedical engineering not elsewhere classifiedFields of Research::320000 Medical and Health Sciences::321000 Clinical Sciences::321004 Endocrinology
