Abstract This study has been planned to evaluate the accuracy of glucometer (Accutrend). Fourty blood glucose measurements included in this study, they were randomly selected. Patients were anaesthetized by different techniques. Blood glucose concentration was measured by both glucometer and the standard laboratory glucose-oxidase method (Beckman Autoanalyse r). from the results of this study, blood glucose measured by glucometer (Accutrend) are always lower than those measured by the standard lab glucose oxidase method and the calculated bias value was 17.6 ± 51.8 and the limits of agreement were wide ranging from 121.2 to - 86 mg dl-1 which are unaccepted for clinical purposes. |
