Abstract

Processes and procedures in intensive care units and during anaesthetic delivery are centered around ensuring patient safety. This article aims to shed light on a rare possible mechanism for inadvertent iatrogenic hypoglycaemia as can affect critical care specialists or anaesthetists in the line of service delivery and recommendations have been suggested.

Keywords: Anaesthesia, arterial line, critical care, critical events, patient safety
