Topic: Management of Neonatal Hypoglycaemia, and Does it Matter?
Presenter: Professor Jane Harding, Liggins Institute, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. Presentation
Overview:
Low glucose levels in babies (neonatal hypoglycaemia) are common, and can cause brain injury, but the severity and duration of
hypoglycaemia that causes injury is unknown. Despite this, screening babies at risk and treating those with hypoglycaemia is generally
recommended. We will review the pathophysiology of neonatal hypoglycaemia, and the evidence, or lack thereof, for best practice in
diagnosis, prevention and treatment
