Hypoglycemia: When to Treat?
Hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic disorder encountered in neonates. The definition of hypoglycemia as well as its clinical significance and management remain controversial. Most cases of neonatal hypoglycemia are transient, respond readily to treatment, and are associated with an excellent prognosis. Persistent hypoglycemia is more likely to be associated with abnormal endocrine conditions, such as hyperinsulinemia, as well as possible neurologic sequelae. Manifestations of hypoglycemia include seizures which can result in noteworthy neuromorbidity in the long haul. Thus, hypoglycemia constitutes a neonatal emergency which requires earnest analytic assessment and prompt treatment. In this review, we have tried to cover the pathophysiology, the screening protocol for high-risk babies, management, long-term neurologic sequelae associated with neonatal hypoglycemia, with evidence-based answers wherever possible, and our own practices.
