  1. 0:18I'm going to continue with this because
  2. 0:20we've already talked about hypoglycemia
  3. 0:22, and I wanted to take the opportunity
  4. 0:24to discuss it as well so you have a
  5. 0:25consistent thread in the videos. So, I
  6. 0:29will start just with neonatal
  7. 0:31hypoglycemia, and we will leave the
  8. 0:33rest for general hypoglycemia. So,
  9. 0:35there are some general points.
  10. 0:36Prevention and systematic screening in
  11. 0:38at-risk newborns are essential. When I
  12. 0:41say at-risk newborn, I mean a premature
  13. 0:43baby, a growth-restricted infant, a
  14. 0:45baby of a diabetic mother, a baby with
  15. 0:48perinatal hypoxic-ischemic distress, or
  16. 0:50an infected baby. Therefore, every
  17. 0:53abnormal situation can predispose a
  18. 0:55baby to neonatal hypoglycemia and
  19. 0:57should push the pediatrician, or even
  20. 0:59the general practitioner or the student
  21. 1:01, to at least perform a finger-stick
  22. 1:03test to see what is happening.
  23. 1:06Prolonged or repeated hypoglycemia is
  24. 1:08known to be detrimental to the central
  25. 1:10nervous system, especially if it is
  26. 1:12symptomatic. For example, hypoglycemia
  27. 1:15that goes unnoticed is not very serious
  28. 1:17at that point, but hypoglycemia that
  29. 1:19reaches the point where the child has
  30. 1:21convulsions means there could be
  31. 1:22lasting damage to the central nervous
  32. 1:24system. So, we cannot make a prognosis
  33. 1:26for this type of baby. For instance,
  34. 1:28when that happens and a mother asks me,
  35. 1:30"Will this child have any sequelae?""
  36. 1:32Ma'am, I cannot tell you." And in any
  37. 1:34case, what happened is serious and
  38. 1:36grave. Okay? It is often resolved by
  39. 1:40simple measures. That is exactly what
  40. 1:43is a shame, that we can fight this
  41. 1:45hypoglycemia ourselves, and it's easy.
  42. 1:49So normally, any one of us can treat it
  43. 1:51easily. Right away, dry sugar water,
  44. 1:56and you can give it to them. And I'll
  45. 1:58tell you one thing, a baby who is
  46. 1:59convulsing is having hypoglycemia, for
  47. 2:01example, if I'm outside and don't have
  48. 2:03my kit with me. There's no need to
  49. 2:04overcomplicate things. In the hospital,
  50. 2:06if they are convulsing, it's
  51. 2:08hypoglycemia. Don't overcomplicate it:
  52. 2:10they've had a seizure, I have an easy
  53. 2:12solution. If I give glucose, okay?
  54. 2:15There is no hyperglycemia that causes
  55. 2:17convulsions, whereas hypoglycemia can
  56. 2:19do so. The reflex: a diabetic, a
  57. 2:23convulsion, is a problem. Because
  58. 2:28hypoglycemia can kill, hyperglycemia
  59. 2:30won't kill, it will take its time, no
  60. 2:32worries, okay? Okay? So, often resolved
  61. 2:34by simple measures. If it is severe or
  62. 2:36persistent, then we must move to
  63. 2:38intravenous treatment, but we should
  64. 2:39already do the maximum while on the
  65. 2:41scene. An etiological assessment is
  66. 2:43necessary, especially if you suspect
  67. 2:45hyperinsulinism, metabolic diseases, or
  68. 2:48growth hormone deficiency. This is
  69. 2:50because there are certain pathologies
  70. 2:51that can lead to hypoglycemia that is
  71. 2:53not merely transient. In such cases, it
  72. 2:55must be investigated as appropriate. To
  73. 2:57define hypoglycemia, let's look at
  74. 2:59full-term or near-term infants.
  75. 3:01Normally, everything depends on
  76. 3:03postnatal age and the type of feeding.
  77. 3:06And you will see that there are figures
  78. 3:07to keep in mind and not forget. The
  79. 3:10risk is less significant if you have a
  80. 3:12breastfed newborn. That is why when we
  81. 3:14say breastfeeding, it is very important
  82. 3:16because it helps maintain constant
  83. 3:18blood glucose levels. It is very, very
  84. 3:20important. Regarding hypoglycemia. So,
  85. 3:27for the postnatal period, I have
  86. 3:28provided this table here. Yes, it is
  87. 3:30for indicative purposes: less than 2
  88. 3:32hours, less than 0.8 g/l, it is a blood
  89. 3:35glucose level below the 5th percentile.
  90. 3:37Between 3 and 47 hours, less than 0.7 g
  91. 3:39/l, and beyond 48 hours, it is less
  92. 3:41than 0.8 g/l. But I would ask you to
  93. 3:43remember the numbers in red. For a
  94. 3:47newborn with a pathology—when I say
  95. 3:50with pathology, whether hypotrophic,
  96. 3:52premature, infected, from a diabetic
  97. 3:54mother, or presenting with neonatal
  98. 3:56respiratory distress—regardless of
  99. 3:58gestational age, type of feeding, or
  100. 4:01postnatal age, hypoglycemia is
  101. 4:02considered if you have a blood glucose
  102. 4:05level below 0.45 g/l. From the moment
  103. 4:09it is pathological, if its blood
  104. 4:12glucose drops below 0.45 g/l, it is
  105. 4:14hypoglycemia. Now, we can only speak of
  106. 4:16severe hypoglycemia requiring urgent
  107. 4:18intravenous treatment when you have a
  108. 4:20blood glucose level that is less than
  109. 4:22or equal to 0.22 g/l. Less than or
  110. 4:24equal to 0.22 g/l, the infant will
  111. 4:27convulse. It will burn out all its
  112. 4:28neurons without debate. So, at 0.2 g/l,
  113. 4:30we don't argue; we admit the infant,
  114. 4:33place an intravenous line, and do the
  115. 4:35maximum. If there is no venous access,
  116. 4:37it's an umbilical catheter or even a
  117. 4:39central line. You really must do the
  118. 4:40maximum. And in the meantime, don't
  119. 4:43panic; you can administer the
  120. 4:44equivalent via the gastric route,
  121. 4:46either by syringe or however you like,
  122. 4:48while waiting to establish access.
  123. 4:51Regardless of postnatal age, and I put
  124. 4:54this in red on purpose, any symptomatic
  125. 4:56child with a blood glucose level below
  126. 4:590.4 g/l must receive urgent treatment.
  127. 5:01Because from the moment the child is
  128. 5:03symptomatic, whether they are
  129. 5:04convulsing, hypotonic, or not doing
  130. 5:06well, it means this is a blood glucose
  131. 5:08level that is problematic. To measure
  132. 5:12capillary blood glucose, you must have
  133. 5:14an adapted device, and be aware that
  134. 5:16just any diabetic monitor won't give
  135. 5:17you the same reading. They have to be
  136. 5:20devices specifically designed for
  137. 5:22newborns. In fact, even here, we don't
  138. 5:24work with ordinary blood glucose
  139. 5:26monitors. These are special newborn
  140. 5:29monitors calibrated for newborn blood.
  141. 5:33And so, you must know that polycythemia
  142. 5:35lowers the result. When you have a baby
  143. 5:37with polycythemia, it is possible to
  144. 5:39find a low blood glucose level when it
  145. 5:41actually isn't low. It is simply
  146. 5:43because the child has polycythemia. No
  147. 5:45skin disinfection with alcohol because
  148. 5:47that will also lead to a low figure. So
  149. 5:50when you want to disinfect, generally
  150. 5:52use chlorhexidine, not alcohol, for a
  151. 5:54newborn. It also risks lowering the
  152. 5:56result. For venous blood glucose
  153. 5:59measurement, and this is new, even with
  154. 6:01alcohol, when you disinfect with
  155. 6:03alcohol, you lower the result. When
  156. 6:07measuring venous blood glucose, the
  157. 6:09sample must be sent to the lab without
  158. 6:11delay, because when you delay, there is
  159. 6:13glucose remaining that gets consumed,
  160. 6:15and so we will also have a lower result
  161. 6:17. So when you perform a blood glucose
  162. 6:20test, it must be sent as quickly as
  163. 6:22possible. The sample inevitably, you
  164. 6:26will have a blood glucose level that is
  165. 6:27abnormally low when it is not the case.
  166. 6:31Newborns at risk, no indication. For a:
  167. 6:34you have a baby who is full-term,
  168. 6:36eutrophic, has a good, perfectly normal
  169. 6:38weight, who is healthy in the maternity
  170. 6:40ward, whose birth was normal, there is
  171. 6:42nothing to report. Actually, we look
  172. 6:43for nothing, we won't overcomplicate
  173. 6:45things. A hypothermic newborn, yes,
  174. 6:48there is an increased risk of
  175. 6:49hypoglycemia. He is in hypothermia, he
  176. 6:52is also at risk of hypoglycemia. That
  177. 6:54is why we insist on transfers: when you
  178. 6:56have a newborn who is to be transferred
  179. 6:58from a hospital facility, we insist on
  180. 7:00warming; if it is not a transport
  181. 7:02incubator, at least the kangaroo method
  182. 7:04I told you about, skin-to-skin, and
  183. 7:06then of course either an IV line or, if
  184. 7:08we cannot get one, at least have them
  185. 7:10accompanied by someone who will give 10
  186. 7:12%glucose serum throughout the transport
  187. 7:14, because the risk of hypoglycemia is
  188. 7:16even greater. A newborn to develop
  189. 7:22hypoglycemia, especially when the
  190. 7:24weight is above the 97th percentile and
  191. 7:26especially when it is disharmonious
  192. 7:28macrosomia. So, you have a head
  193. 7:31circumference and height that are
  194. 7:33completely preserved, just an increased
  195. 7:35weight. Because sometimes macrosomia is
  196. 7:39harmonious, the head circumference is
  197. 7:41large, the height is large, and so the
  198. 7:43baby is like a three-month-old baby,
  199. 7:45not a newborn, given how significant
  200. 7:47the measurements are. But sometimes,
  201. 7:49only the weight is high, while the head
  202. 7:51circumference and height are completely
  203. 7:53normal. Hypoglycemia in this case, the
  204. 7:58baby is cushingoid, because regardless
  205. 8:00of the weight, head circumference, or
  206. 8:02height, you have a normal head
  207. 8:04circumference and height, but he looks
  208. 8:06small in stature yet puffy. So for
  209. 8:11hypoglycemia, it's the 97th percentile
  210. 8:13for weight according to age, which is
  211. 8:15what we call the Intergrowth-21st
  212. 8:17curves, which are the most recent ones
  213. 8:19we use, and it also depends on
  214. 8:21gestational age and sex. For a girl,
  215. 8:27you will see that she will be
  216. 8:28considered macrosomic at a weight
  217. 8:30slightly lower than a boy, because boys
  218. 8:32are generally known to have a higher
  219. 8:34weight than girls from a very early age
  220. 8:35. And so, as age progresses, the figure
  221. 8:40increases to define whether or not it
  222. 8:42is macrosomia. For example, a baby born
  223. 8:45at 40 weeks weighing 4.2 kg, we are not
  224. 8:47concerned. 4 kg at 37 weeks is a
  225. 8:49significant macrosome. So, 4 kg. Do you
  226. 8:53understand? Newborns of diabetic
  227. 8:57mothers treated with insulin, we just
  228. 8:59talked about them. Regardless of the
  229. 9:02type of diabetes, whether
  230. 9:04insulin-dependent or not, you must
  231. 9:06systematically monitor diabetes if the
  232. 9:08mother is treated with insulin, but no,
  233. 9:10if she is treated by diet alone, it is
  234. 9:12not necessary. A mother who has
  235. 9:16gestational diabetes managed by diet
  236. 9:18alone doesn't have a baby predisposed
  237. 9:20to hyperinsulinism, because the baby
  238. 9:22isn't receiving insulin while in the
  239. 9:23mother's womb. Right? When you have a
  240. 9:27fetus that has no growth abnormalities,
  241. 9:29you do nothing. Now, you have a mother
  242. 9:31who has been on insulin and is a known
  243. 9:32pre-existing diabetic. Whether
  244. 9:34insulin-dependent or not. The baby is
  245. 9:36predisposed to having problems. A
  246. 9:38premature newborn in the maternity ward
  247. 9:40should have blood drawn or be checked
  248. 9:42at least three times. And also
  249. 9:44growth-restricted newborns because they
  250. 9:46are predisposed to having hypoglycemia
  251. 9:48problems. Newborns of mothers on
  252. 9:51treatments like Depakine—incidentally
  253. 9:53, I don't know if you're aware, but
  254. 9:55Depakine is now normally
  255. 9:57contraindicated for girls of
  256. 9:58childbearing age, women in general, and
  257. 10:00girls from the age of puberty, starting
  258. 10:03at 14. Why? Because they found that it
  259. 10:06causes malformations. It is teratogenic
  260. 10:08for the baby. I don't know if you're
  261. 10:10aware, but it's very recent. So for
  262. 10:13sodium valproate, for moms who are
  263. 10:15epileptic, we offer them many other
  264. 10:17products, not Depakine. They should be
  265. 10:21warned about it. Because beta-blockers
  266. 10:26will cause this blood sugar to drop in
  267. 10:28the baby, because when the mom is on a
  268. 10:30beta-blocker like Ablocarde. This
  269. 10:33transition must cause a drop in blood
  270. 10:34sugar. Bronchodilators, especially
  271. 10:38beta-mimetics—and for the older
  272. 10:40schools, when a mom presented with
  273. 10:41threatened premature labor, we used to
  274. 10:43offer her beta-mimetics as treatment,
  275. 10:45which would cause both tachycardia in
  276. 10:47the mom and a risk of hypoglycemia in
  277. 10:49the baby. Now, there are other
  278. 10:54medications offered, like
  279. 10:55antihypertensives, antidiabetics like
  280. 10:58Glucophage, metformin or Daonil, and
  281. 11:00sulfonylureas; these, too, can cause
  282. 11:02recurring hypoglycemia in the baby. So,
  283. 11:06the newborn...there's a third, not
  284. 11:08hypothermia; the newborn in a context
  285. 11:10of moderate perinatal hypoxia. So any
  286. 11:12situation of distress, whether it's
  287. 11:14hypotrophy, macrosomia, fetal distress,
  288. 11:16infection, polycythemia, or neonatal
  289. 11:19respiratory distress, will predispose
  290. 11:21this baby to developing hypoglycemia.
  291. 11:23Clinical sign: most often this baby is
  292. 11:25asymptomatic, and that is what's
  293. 11:27serious, because being asymptomatic
  294. 11:29means we might...When it is symptomatic
  295. 11:34, we have clinical signs that are
  296. 11:35telling. The child will move on to...
  297. 11:38will show neurological signs, be
  298. 11:40lethargic, hypotonic, have a weak
  299. 11:42sucking reflex, a really very weak cry,
  300. 11:44and sometimes it can go straight to
  301. 11:46convulsions, tremors, irritability, and
  302. 11:49more; there are feeding difficulties.
  303. 11:56Cyanotic spells and...be careful, the
  304. 11:58warning signs are not very specific,
  305. 11:59meaning it's a baby that can give the
  306. 12:01false impression of being completely
  307. 12:03normal. From the moment you have one of
  308. 12:07the criteria you should be flagged on,
  309. 12:09I'd say whether it's infection,
  310. 12:11distress, hypotrophy, or macrosomia,
  311. 12:13you must evaluate these babies, at
  312. 12:15least do a blood glucose check—a
  313. 12:17check won't kill them. If you have
  314. 12:18clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia
  315. 12:20, a capillary blood glucose check must
  316. 12:22be done in the minutes that follow.
  317. 12:23That is to say, you correct it, and
  318. 12:25then you see if their blood sugar will
  319. 12:26rise or not. If the hypoglycemia is
  320. 12:28symptomatic, management should be
  321. 12:30carried out as an emergency. And it's
  322. 12:32no longer the oral route; it's strictly
  323. 12:34the intravenous route because it is
  324. 12:35already symptomatic, meaning the brain
  325. 12:37has already been affected. To prevent
  326. 12:40hypoglycemia in the delivery room, one
  327. 12:42must first maintain normothermia.
  328. 12:44Earlier, we mentioned that hypothermia
  329. 12:46will aggravate hypoglycemia. So, you
  330. 12:47must keep the baby at a temperature of
  331. 12:5037 plus or minus 0.3 degrees. The first
  332. 12:52feeding should be early, and if you
  333. 12:54recall when we covered breastfeeding,
  334. 12:55we said they should be breastfed within
  335. 12:5730 minutes of birth. Especially if it
  336. 13:00is a mother who delivered vaginally:
  337. 13:01offer the breast within the following
  338. 13:0330 minutes. Subsequently, if it is
  339. 13:05breastfeeding, the feedings should be
  340. 13:07frequent at first, every 2 to 3 hours.
  341. 13:09Honestly, for the first week, certainly
  342. 13:11the first three days, for her to have a
  343. 13:13good supply, it is given on demand,
  344. 13:15madam. Every time they wake up, you
  345. 13:17give them the breast; if they don't
  346. 13:18wake up, you wake them after 2 or 3
  347. 13:20hours maximum, and you give them the
  348. 13:22breast because these babies sometimes
  349. 13:24have an inverted circadian rhythm; they
  350. 13:26sleep more during the day and wake up
  351. 13:27at night. You must not wait for them to
  352. 13:30wake up and ask for it. Sometimes, they
  353. 13:32enter hypoglycemia, they become
  354. 13:34lethargic, and the mother thinks they
  355. 13:36are fine. Whereas when we take them and
  356. 13:38perform a blood glucose test, we end up
  357. 13:39with levels that are really very, very
  358. 13:41low. If this baby is not breastfed,
  359. 13:45they must be fed at least 8 times a day
  360. 13:49. If they are hypoglycemic, it must be
  361. 13:52offered every 3 hours if not every 2
  362. 13:54hours. So it will depend on the
  363. 13:57indication. If the oral route is
  364. 14:06impossible, one must switch to the
  365. 14:07intravenous route. When I say
  366. 14:09impossibility of the oral route, for
  367. 14:10example enterocolitis, a baby we are
  368. 14:12preparing for potential surgery, they
  369. 14:14must be kept fasting, they might become
  370. 14:15hypoglycemic, so we must switch to the
  371. 14:17intravenous route without question. The
  372. 14:19first blood glucose test should be done
  373. 14:21before the second meal, generally
  374. 14:23around 3 or 4 hours after birth, to see
  375. 14:24if we are on the right track or not.
  376. 14:28Blood glucose should be checked every
  377. 14:30other meal, meaning every 4 to 6 hours,
  378. 14:32until there are three satisfactory
  379. 14:34readings. Then we stop monitoring. You
  380. 14:38have three normal readings with checks
  381. 14:40done every other meal, which is our
  382. 14:42standard procedure. We will then
  383. 14:44discontinue this monitoring. Monitoring
  384. 14:46and therapeutic management after the
  385. 14:47delivery room. This is an emergency;
  386. 14:49I'm marking it in red. When you have
  387. 14:54hypoglycemia that is below 0.2 g/L,
  388. 14:56this is a baby at risk of convulsing at
  389. 14:58any moment. If they haven't already,
  390. 15:00sometimes these babies do convulse.
  391. 15:05They choke, then you check the blood
  392. 15:07sugar, and you find it's below 0.2. A
  393. 15:10symptomatic newborn with hypoglycemia
  394. 15:12of less than 0.4 g/L, but in this case,
  395. 15:15they are symptomatic. Therefore, this
  396. 15:17is an indication for an intravenous
  397. 15:19line. If they weren't symptomatic, we
  398. 15:21would have just used the oral route, or
  399. 15:23for a newborn with underlying pathology
  400. 15:25and blood glucose below 0.45 g/L. Now,
  401. 15:27we shouldn't wait for the levels to
  402. 15:29drop even further. We should offer the
  403. 15:31intravenous route right away. The goal
  404. 15:34of intravenous treatment, regardless of
  405. 15:37postnatal age, is to achieve blood
  406. 15:39glucose greater than or equal to 0.45 g
  407. 15:41/L. You've noticed I've only been
  408. 15:44speaking in grams per liter because
  409. 15:45that's the unit we use most frequently.
  410. 15:49Any intravenous treatment justifies a
  411. 15:51transfer for monitoring and etiological
  412. 15:53and therapeutic management in a
  413. 15:54neonatology unit. That is our
  414. 16:02monitoring protocol. And when I say
  415. 16:03intravenous route, we rarely just set
  416. 16:05up an ordinary IV drip and leave it
  417. 16:07like that for a newborn. It is risky to
  418. 16:09use a standard IV drip bag. Honestly,
  419. 16:11we never do that; it is inadmissible
  420. 16:13and unacceptable. Because what is the
  421. 16:15risk? It's a small mass, a small volume
  422. 16:19that will pass, close to 500 mL; you
  423. 16:21turn your head, the product infuses
  424. 16:23rapidly, and hello trouble. So,
  425. 16:27normally, under the best conditions,
  426. 16:29you should use a syringe pump, which is
  427. 16:31ideal. That's what we do in neonatal
  428. 16:34units. If we don't have these syringe
  429. 16:36pumps and we have to set up a 500 mL
  430. 16:38drip, yes, we give the required amount.
  431. 16:40Why am I giving you these messages?
  432. 16:42Because one day you will find yourself
  433. 16:44in the emergency room as interns or as
  434. 16:46general practitioners somewhere, and
  435. 16:47these are reflexes to keep in mind. I
  436. 16:52only provide the necessary amount so
  437. 16:54that, in case of human error—since we
  438. 16:56never know what might happen—we won't
  439. 16:58harm the baby. So, make it a habit to
  440. 17:01give the right amount and keep only
  441. 17:03what is strictly necessary. Ideally,
  442. 17:05use a syringe pump in neonatal units,
  443. 17:07of course. Now, if you are in a
  444. 17:09maternity ward and need to administer
  445. 17:11this, just keep the required amount on
  446. 17:13hand. That way, even if the entire
  447. 17:14amount is administered, there is no
  448. 17:16risk of complications. Establishing
  449. 17:19venous access is very important. You
  450. 17:21cannot treat a If you're struggling,
  451. 17:25what can you do? You are searching for
  452. 17:29a vein, but you shouldn't just leave
  453. 17:30the baby without providing something to
  454. 17:32compensate for the deficiency. We will
  455. 17:35administer it orally. We will give 2 to
  456. 17:383 cc per kilo, either by syringe or
  457. 17:40directly via a gastric tube, while we
  458. 17:43establish an IV line. Honestly, when it
  459. 17:46comes to the oral route, I go straight
  460. 17:48to 3 cc per kilo if venous access is
  461. 17:50difficult, especially with a macrosomic
  462. 17:53baby, because in chubby babies, veins
  463. 17:55are not visible and with a continuous
  464. 18:12feeding, we ensure a stable intake, so
  465. 18:14it should be enriched. I have included
  466. 18:19a table at the end for you to see how
  467. 18:20it works. After establishing venous
  468. 18:24access, inject 2 to 3 cc per kilo of 10
  469. 18:27%glucose solution as a bolus. Remember
  470. 18:302 cc per kilo, or a maximum of 3 cc per
  471. 18:33kilo over about 5 minutes. So it must
  472. 18:35be administered quickly to correct low
  473. 18:37levels, especially those below 0.2,
  474. 18:39then followed by a continuous infusion.
  475. 18:42This is why we use a syringe pump with
  476. 18:4410%glucose. 2 to 3 cc per kilo, and we
  477. 18:47will increase or decrease it based on
  478. 18:49our blood glucose readings. So, either
  479. 18:53we get three consecutive normal blood
  480. 18:55glucose readings and we can gradually
  481. 18:57switch back to oral feeding only, or
  482. 18:59the glucose levels won't rise and we
  483. 19:01are forced to increase the dose. We can
  484. 19:03go up to 4 cc per kilo, but be aware
  485. 19:05that the higher the concentration, the
  486. 19:08less effective a peripheral venous line
  487. 19:10becomes. Therefore, if you increase the
  488. 19:12concentration through a peripheral vein
  489. 19:14, you will burn the veins of this
  490. 19:15newborn. So ideally, use a central
  491. 19:18venous line. The flow rate should be
  492. 19:20increased if there is an indication for
  493. 19:22an IV, especially if you have
  494. 19:24refractory hypoglycemia. Check the
  495. 19:26capillary blood glucose 30 to 60
  496. 19:28minutes after the IV injection. It is
  497. 19:32normalizing and you have a blood
  498. 19:34glucose level that reaches the desired
  499. 19:36figure, which is above 0.45. At that
  500. 19:38point, you must continue the venous
  501. 19:40access and transfer the child. I have
  502. 19:41insisted, I have insisted a lot on
  503. 19:43hypoglycemia because we see babies, you
  504. 19:45will see babies who are disabled in
  505. 19:47strollers or in wheelchairs because of
  506. 19:49hypoglycemia. It might seem trivial to
  507. 19:51you, but it is not trivial at all. A
  508. 19:52baby who has remained in hypoglycemia
  509. 19:54for a long time without being noticed
  510. 19:56risks having lifelong cerebral palsy.
  511. 19:59And so this is serious; it weighs on
  512. 20:01our conscience. If there is no
  513. 20:05normalization while waiting for the
  514. 20:07transfer, you must repeat our dose via
  515. 20:09the IV route and then increase the flow
  516. 20:11rate, which can reach 4 cc/kg, then
  517. 20:13check the blood glucose; beyond that,
  518. 20:15switch to a central line. I repeat,
  519. 20:18beyond 4 cc/kg, you risk burning the
  520. 20:20veins; it no longer works. Switch to a
  521. 20:23central line for the patient.
  522. 20:24Fortunately, you always have the
  523. 20:26umbilical catheter, which is possible
  524. 20:27especially when they arrive in the
  525. 20:29first few days before the cord dries or
  526. 20:31falls off. So, ideally, place it
  527. 20:32immediately; all the babies I have in
  528. 20:34the ward have an umbilical venous
  529. 20:36catheter placed upon arrival. You never
  530. 20:38know if they are coming for a simple
  531. 20:39infection or jaundice; it could turn
  532. 20:41out to be a urinary tract infection. So
  533. 20:43, if they have pyelonephritis, it is a
  534. 20:45minimum of 10 to 14 days of treatment.
  535. 20:46Imagine 10 to 14 days peripherally; we
  536. 20:49would kill this baby. Avoid any
  537. 20:52administration of 30%glucose solution.
  538. 20:56High concentrations should not be given
  539. 20:58, nor should any 10%glucose solution be
  540. 21:00administered in isolation without
  541. 21:02continuous support. That is, generally,
  542. 21:05G10 with calcium for the first 48 hours
  543. 21:08. Beyond 48 hours, ensure that it is
  544. 21:13well established and that they are
  545. 21:15producing urine correctly. I have some
  546. 21:22reactive hypoglycemia, because when you
  547. 21:24switch from 30%, it causes such a
  548. 21:25significant negative feedback that they
  549. 21:28risk developing reactive hypoglycemia
  550. 21:30when you give it without continuous
  551. 21:31support. There too, you risk the same
  552. 21:35thing of hypoglycemia, asymptomatic or
  553. 21:41close to it. I have placed them in the
  554. 21:46maternity ward, meaning from the moment
  555. 21:48they are not symptomatic, we can leave
  556. 21:49them with their mother but manage their
  557. 21:51hypoglycemia. In all cases,
  558. 21:53skin-to-skin contact is safe because
  559. 21:54hypothermia must be avoided. You place
  560. 21:56them skin-to-skin. This is the kangaroo
  561. 21:58method. So, you are already avoiding
  562. 22:00hypothermia. So, first of all, you
  563. 22:02reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
  564. 22:03Keeping the mother close to her child
  565. 22:0524/7, especially if she's breastfeeding
  566. 22:07, the baby needs to be with her. You
  567. 22:09don't want to put him elsewhere, making
  568. 22:11her go back and forth, especially with
  569. 22:13C-sections. I don't think that's going
  570. 22:15to make things any better. Support the
  571. 22:16start of lactation, especially if it's
  572. 22:18breastfeeding. Distinguish between
  573. 22:21exclusive breastfeeding and other
  574. 22:23feeding. No. If it's exclusive, the
  575. 22:26mother must feed the baby frequently.
  576. 22:29If it's partial or if the baby isn't
  577. 22:31breastfed, it's up to us to offer the
  578. 22:33right solution and even fortify it.
  579. 22:35Don't waste time when the child is
  580. 22:37unable to feed. I mean, recently I had
  581. 22:41a child who had severe hypoglycemia,
  582. 22:43and the mother told me: "The
  583. 22:44pediatrician..." but it's not a diverse
  584. 22:54case, an older child who’s picky and
  585. 22:57"never ate." But a newborn doesn't know
  586. 23:01that, they don't get that; they are
  587. 23:03here, and they must be fed. He isn't
  588. 23:05taking it? It means he’s hypotonic;
  589. 23:07don't overthink it. And ultimately, we
  590. 23:12end up with a baby having seizures just
  591. 23:14because we waited for him to be...to be
  592. 23:16hungry and to latch. So that’s not
  593. 23:18logical. We need to be careful with
  594. 23:20what we do; avoid forced oral feeding
  595. 23:22at all costs. If he can't latch, he
  596. 23:24can't latch. If he's hypotonic, he
  597. 23:26doesn't have a good reflex; he just
  598. 23:27doesn't. So, in the beginning, you have
  599. 23:29hypoglycemia, you must treat the
  600. 23:31hypoglycemia. We don't care about what
  601. 23:33happens afterward. Turn to intravenous
  602. 23:34intake, or possibly continuous enteral
  603. 23:36route if it's difficult to get venous
  604. 23:38access. I mean, we always have the
  605. 23:42fallback of using a gastric tube when
  606. 23:44you can't get an IV. It's simple: place
  607. 23:47a gastric tube and give him what he
  608. 23:49needs directly into his stomach. But
  609. 23:51the sucking reflex, he can't...Four
  610. 23:55levels of care will follow each other.
  611. 23:59Continued monitoring before each
  612. 24:00feeding as long as the blood sugar is
  613. 24:02abnormal. Every time you find an
  614. 24:05abnormal blood sugar, you must check it
  615. 24:07again before the next feeding. The goal
  616. 24:09is to normalize blood glucose levels
  617. 24:11and reach a figure above 0.45. And
  618. 24:13these are just stages, just so you have
  619. 24:15an idea. It's not about memorizing this
  620. 24:17. So what I would like you to learn is,
  621. 24:20first, knowing at what level to treat.
  622. 24:23For a pathological baby, it's 0.45. For
  623. 24:26a normal asymptomatic baby, it's 0.40.
  624. 24:29When it's below 0.2, it's intravenous.
  625. 24:31So, the indications for intravenous.
  626. 24:33What can we give orally? You should
  627. 24:35remember 2 to 3 cc per kilo orally.
  628. 24:37What can we give intravenously? 2 to 3
  629. 24:40cc intravenously in 5 minutes, and if
  630. 24:43we can't do it, it's glucagon. If we
  631. 24:45can't do that, it's the gastric tube.
  632. 24:47If you at least remember that, that is
  633. 24:49the essential part for me. The stages
  634. 24:52are just so you have a complete lesson,
  635. 24:54and you will see that it differs
  636. 24:56depending on whether the child is
  637. 24:58exclusively breastfed, not breastfed,
  638. 24:59or partially breastfed. And I will
  639. 25:03leave the other part for the next
  640. 25:05lesson. Thank you for your attention.
