Monitoring neonatal hypoglycemia with the Accu-chek advantage II glucose meter: the cautionary tale of galactosemia.
To the Editor: Hand-held glucose meters are a practical solution for measuring glucose in neonatal intensive care units and special care nurseries because of their portability, the immediacy of results, and minimal blood volume requirements compared with dispatching samples for central laboratory analysis. We have used the Roche Accu-chek Advantage II meter for some time in our neonatal intensi...
متن کاملToxic levels of acetaminophen produce a major positive interference on Glucometer Elite and Accu-chek Advantage glucose meters.
ied this possibility by performing the enzymatic assay on controls containing increasing concentrations of ACET in the presence of different therapeutic concentrations of NAC (Fig. 1A). Evidently, NAC concentrations $100 mg/L cause a marked negative bias, reaching total suppression of the reaction in the presence of 10 g/L NAC. In contrast, similar concentrations of NAC have no effect on the AC...
متن کاملScreening for hypoglycemia at the bedside in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with the Abbott PCx glucose meter
BACKGROUND Point of care (POC) glucose meters are routinely used as a screening tool for hypoglycemia in a neonatal setting. Glucose meters however, lack the same accuracy as laboratory instruments for glucose measurement. In this study we investigated potential reasons for this inaccuracy and established a cut off value for confirmatory testing. METHODS In this prospective study, all patient...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Blood Glucose Measurements Using Glucometer Readings and the Standard Method in the Diagnosis of Neonatal Hypoglycemia
Background: Hypoglycemia is one of the most common neonatal disorders, associated with severe complications. There has been a great deal of controversy regarding the definition and screening of hypoglycemia. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine a cut-off value for blood glucose level in glucometer readings. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 238 newborns at risk of ...
متن کاملPoint-of-care glucose analysis in neonates using modified quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase.
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic hypoglycemia in neonates may contribute to neurologic deficits during development. Whole-blood glucose sensors are often imprecise and inaccurate at the low glucose concentrations found in neonates. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this study, a glucose sensor using a mutated glucose dehydrogenase that does not cross-react significantly with maltose was evaluated at three pedia...
