Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of Neonatal Hypoglycemia in Babies Identified as at Risk
TL;DR: No evidence is found that screening protocols should differ in different at risk groups, but multiple risk factors may increase severity of hypoglycemia in babies identified as being at risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dextrose gel for neonatal hypoglycaemia (the Sugar Babies Study): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
TL;DR: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess whether treatment with dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone for reversal of neonatal hypoglycaemia in at-risk babies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous glucose monitoring in newborn babies at risk of hypoglycemia.
TL;DR: Continuous interstitial glucose monitoring detects many more episodes of low glucose concentrations than blood glucose measurement, and the physiological significance of these previously undetected episodes is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised trial of dopamine compared with hydrocortisone for the treatment of hypotensive very low birthweight infants
David Bourchier,Philip J. Weston +1 more
TL;DR: Both hydrocortisone and dopamine are effective treatments for hypotension in very low birthweight infants, and no significant difference in efficacy was noted between the groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral dextrose gel for the treatment of hypoglycaemia in newborn infants
Philip J. Weston,Deborah L. Harris,Deborah L. Harris,Malcolm R. Battin,Julie Brown,Joanne E Hegarty,Jane E. Harding +6 more
TL;DR: Treatment of infants with neonatal hypoglycaemia with 40% dextrose gel reduces the incidence of mother-infant separation for treatment and increases the likelihood of full breast feeding after discharge compared with placebo gel.
