ICU issues

What are some issues you experience in the ICU that occur frequently (for example forgetting to get the hourly urine) that you wish could be easier/simplified?

    Not an issue, but I wish there was a way to get the 1-hr blood glucose levels without sticking the patient q hour.

    agree...we have patients who already have CGM (like the Freestyle Libre) and we still do POCT glucose on them.

    Are you not able to draw from an A-line?  Or do they not have an a-line....

    No, most DKA's we get don't need an A-line.

    LOL, for those patients, we don't even use their numbers, their results from the freestyle are sometimes 30-40mg/dL off from ours.
