Admetsys (Advanced Metabolic Systems) is a company led by Timothy Valk, chief scientist behind the artificial pancreas.

Both articles evaluating the use of an artificial pancreas in critical care are from peer reviewed journals]]> 2018-09-28 20:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nataliellong01/1i1mdm70fdp9/wish/287144464 nataliellong01 https://padlet.com/nataliellong01/1i1mdm70fdp9/wish/287329831 Medgadget article published on May 17, 2018.

By using a chip at the end of an intravenous catheter, the machine can continuously monitor glucose levels every 5 minutes and administer insulin or glucose when required (Medgadget, 2018)]]> 2018-09-30 14:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nataliellong01/1i1mdm70fdp9/wish/287329877 nataliellong01 https://padlet.com/nataliellong01/1i1mdm70fdp9/wish/287330348

Decrease the workload on critical care nurses. No need to take hourly blood sugars!

Reduce risk of human error

Tighter control of blood sugar which can decrease mortality and hospital length of stay

Decreased cost to the US and hospitals (Admetsys, 2017).

Eliminate severe incidents of hypoglycemia (DeJournett & DeJournett, 2016).

Risk for hypoglycemia

Risk for technology malfunction (Chase et al., 2018)

This can decrease the workload on nurses by eliminating hourly glucose checks and providing tighter control of glucose levels for patients. This decreases mortality by preventing episodes of severe hypoglycemia and overall decreasing costs accrued by hospitals.]]> 2018-09-30 15:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nataliellong01/1i1mdm70fdp9/wish/287336422 nataliellong01 https://padlet.com/nataliellong01/1i1mdm70fdp9/wish/287337327
