Subject: Neonatal Hypoglycaemia



Can I ask if following the British Association of Perinatal Medicine publication "Identification and Management of Neonatal Hypoglycaemia in the Full Term Infant – A Framework for Practice" you have been asked to provide gas analysers for glucose measurement rather than glucose meters?



The paper concludes:

In summary, analysis of plasma glucose equivalent using a blood gas machine provides a rapid and accurate measurement of neonatal blood glucose to support real-time clinical decisions. Consideration should be given to providing access to this ward based technology in all clinical settings where newborn infants are looked after.



We don't have a BGA on all wards where newborn infants are looked after and our consultants are asking what other Trusts do?
