Use this optional tool for easy calculation of a patient’s median serum glucose value over 24 hours.
Calculating a median requires a visual understanding of a set of individual values. If the number of measurements is odd, the median is the middle value of the set. If the number of measurements is even, the median is the average of the central pair. This tool allows a reviewer to place a set of values in order and determine the middle value or the average of the central pair.
Directions
Chart all glucose values obtained using this Sepsis Median Glucose Calculation Tool, smallest to largest, and determine the median value as described in the tool.
[NOTE: A Chinese translation of this tool is also available.]
