Summary

This study checks if a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor worn on the arm) gives accurate blood sugar readings during heart surgery and recovery in the ICU. About 100 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine will take part. Researchers will compare the sensor's readings to standard fingerstick or blood gas measurements, especially when patients are cold, on blood pressure medications, or have acidic blood.
