Neonatal Hypoglycaemia - CPS Podcast

Neonatal Hypoglycaemia - CPS Podcast

This CPS podcast gives an organized approach to neonatal hypoglycaemia, the most common metabolic problem in neonates and the leading cause of admissions to the NICU. This podcast is based on the 2019 Canadian Paediatric Society Statement, "The screening and management of newborns at risk for low blood glucose." It was created by Carina Lauzon, a fourth-year medical student, with Dr. Michael Narvey, co-author of this CPS statement, and neonatologist Dr. Marc-Antoine Landry.

In this podcast was said the CPS recommended screening for glucose at 2 hours of age for at risk neonate, unless unwell or symptomatic.
In continue , it was said if the glucose at 12 hours of age is over 2.6 mmol/L for LGA and infants of diabetic mothers, or at 24 hours of age for SGA or preterm over 2.6 mmol/L we can discontinue screening., While you said don't check before 48 hours of age.
