SOBRERO, Helena et al. Prevention of neonatal hypoglycemia in newborns with risk factors by buccal administration of a dose of 40% dextrose gel: randomized clinical trial. Arch. Pediatr. Urug. [online]. 2023, vol.94, n.2, e214.  Epub 01-Dez-2023. ISSN 0004-0584.  https://doi.org/10.31134/ap.94.2.7.

Introduction:

neonatal hypoglycemia is a frequent metabolic disorder in neonates, with a higher incidence in those with risk factors such as being children of diabetic mothers, small for gestational age, and late preterm. Methodology: a randomized, placebo controlled analytic trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of 40% dextrose gel administration for the prevention of neonatal hypoglycemia in this population. A total of 120 patients were recruited.

Results:

a lower incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia was found when compared to the incidence reported in the international literature. No statistically significant differences were found in terms of the number of admissions to inpatient areas for hypoglycemia treatment or exclusive direct breastfeeding at discharge between the groups.

Conclusions:

40% dextrose gel in newborns could be an alternative treatment for hypoglycemia prophylaxis in newborns with risk factors.
