Development of Electrochemical Methods to Enzymatically Detect Lactate and Glucose Using Imaginary Impedance for Enhanced Management of Glycemic Compromised Patients.

Lactate is an important biological marker that can provide valuable information for patients who have experienced a traumatic injury. Additionally, when coupled with glucose, the severity and likely prognosis of a traumatic injury can be determined. Because monitoring various markers proves useful in diagnosis and treatment of trauma patients, monitoring both glucose and lactate simultaneously may be especially useful for diabetic patients who have suffered a traumatic injury.
