Randomised trial of neonatal hypoglycaemia prevention with oral dextrose gel (hPOD): study protocol
BACKGROUND Neonatal hypoglycaemia is common, affecting up to 15% of newborn babies and 50% of those with risk factors (preterm, infant of a diabetic, high or low birthweight). Hypoglycaemia can cause brain damage and death, and babies born at risk have an increased risk of developmental delay in later life. Treatment of hypoglycaemia usually involves additional feeding, often with infant formul...
متن کاملDextrose gel for neonatal hypoglycaemia (the Sugar Babies Study): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Neonatal hypoglycaemia is common, and a preventable cause of brain damage. Dextrose gel is used to reverse hypoglycaemia in individuals with diabetes; however, little evidence exists for its use in babies. We aimed to assess whether treatment with dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone for reversal of neonatal hypoglycaemia in at-risk babies. METHODS We undertook a rand...
متن کاملHypoglycaemia following treatment of hyperkalaemia with insulin and dextrose.
We describe four patients who developed symptomatic hypoglycaemia following treatment of hyperkalaemia with insulin and dextrose. Two patients had a delayed onset of hypoglycaemia, between 5 and 6 hours after treatment despite use of a 'soluble' type of insulin. A review of the literature revealed a variety of insulin and dextrose regimes but no research to assess the metabolic effects of such ...
متن کاملOral Dextrose Gel Reduces the Need for Intravenous Dextrose Therapy in Neonatal Hypoglycemia.
BACKGROUND Newborn infants with risk factors may require intravenous (IV) dextrose for asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Administration of IV dextrose and transfer to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may interfere with parent-infant bonding. OBJECTIVE To study the effect of implementing dextrose gel supplement with feeds in late preterm/term infants affected by asymptomatic hypoglycemia on re...

Neonatal hypoglycaemia (blood glucose <20 mg/100 ml) occurred in the first 6 hours of life in 25 of 34 infants born to diabetic mothers receiving insulin. Despite severe hypoglycaemia (blood glucose <10 mg/1...
