- 0:18I'm going to continue with this because
- 0:20we've already talked about hypoglycemia
- 0:22, and I wanted to take the opportunity
- 0:24to discuss it as well so you have a
- 0:25consistent thread in the videos. So, I
- 0:29will start just with neonatal
- 0:31hypoglycemia, and we will leave the
- 0:33rest for general hypoglycemia. So,
- 0:35there are some general points.
- 0:36Prevention and systematic screening in
- 0:38at-risk newborns are essential. When I
- 0:41say at-risk newborn, I mean a premature
- 0:43baby, a growth-restricted infant, a
- 0:45baby of a diabetic mother, a baby with
- 0:48perinatal hypoxic-ischemic distress, or
- 0:50an infected baby. Therefore, every
- 0:53abnormal situation can predispose a
- 0:55baby to neonatal hypoglycemia and
- 0:57should push the pediatrician, or even
- 0:59the general practitioner or the student
- 1:01, to at least perform a finger-stick
- 1:03test to see what is happening.
- 1:06Prolonged or repeated hypoglycemia is
- 1:08known to be detrimental to the central
- 1:10nervous system, especially if it is
- 1:12symptomatic. For example, hypoglycemia
- 1:15that goes unnoticed is not very serious
- 1:17at that point, but hypoglycemia that
- 1:19reaches the point where the child has
- 1:21convulsions means there could be
- 1:22lasting damage to the central nervous
- 1:24system. So, we cannot make a prognosis
- 1:26for this type of baby. For instance,
- 1:28when that happens and a mother asks me,
- 1:30"Will this child have any sequelae?""
- 1:32Ma'am, I cannot tell you." And in any
- 1:34case, what happened is serious and
- 1:36grave. Okay? It is often resolved by
- 1:40simple measures. That is exactly what
- 1:43is a shame, that we can fight this
- 1:45hypoglycemia ourselves, and it's easy.
- 1:49So normally, any one of us can treat it
- 1:51easily. Right away, dry sugar water,
- 1:56and you can give it to them. And I'll
- 1:58tell you one thing, a baby who is
- 1:59convulsing is having hypoglycemia, for
- 2:01example, if I'm outside and don't have
- 2:03my kit with me. There's no need to
- 2:04overcomplicate things. In the hospital,
- 2:06if they are convulsing, it's
- 2:08hypoglycemia. Don't overcomplicate it:
- 2:10they've had a seizure, I have an easy
- 2:12solution. If I give glucose, okay?
- 2:15There is no hyperglycemia that causes
- 2:17convulsions, whereas hypoglycemia can
- 2:19do so. The reflex: a diabetic, a
- 2:23convulsion, is a problem. Because
- 2:28hypoglycemia can kill, hyperglycemia
- 2:30won't kill, it will take its time, no
- 2:32worries, okay? Okay? So, often resolved
- 2:34by simple measures. If it is severe or
- 2:36persistent, then we must move to
- 2:38intravenous treatment, but we should
- 2:39already do the maximum while on the
- 2:41scene. An etiological assessment is
- 2:43necessary, especially if you suspect
- 2:45hyperinsulinism, metabolic diseases, or
- 2:48growth hormone deficiency. This is
- 2:50because there are certain pathologies
- 2:51that can lead to hypoglycemia that is
- 2:53not merely transient. In such cases, it
- 2:55must be investigated as appropriate. To
- 2:57define hypoglycemia, let's look at
- 2:59full-term or near-term infants.
- 3:01Normally, everything depends on
- 3:03postnatal age and the type of feeding.
- 3:06And you will see that there are figures
- 3:07to keep in mind and not forget. The
- 3:10risk is less significant if you have a
- 3:12breastfed newborn. That is why when we
- 3:14say breastfeeding, it is very important
- 3:16because it helps maintain constant
- 3:18blood glucose levels. It is very, very
- 3:20important. Regarding hypoglycemia. So,
- 3:27for the postnatal period, I have
- 3:28provided this table here. Yes, it is
- 3:30for indicative purposes: less than 2
- 3:32hours, less than 0.8 g/l, it is a blood
- 3:35glucose level below the 5th percentile.
- 3:37Between 3 and 47 hours, less than 0.7 g
- 3:39/l, and beyond 48 hours, it is less
- 3:41than 0.8 g/l. But I would ask you to
- 3:43remember the numbers in red. For a
- 3:47newborn with a pathology—when I say
- 3:50with pathology, whether hypotrophic,
- 3:52premature, infected, from a diabetic
- 3:54mother, or presenting with neonatal
- 3:56respiratory distress—regardless of
- 3:58gestational age, type of feeding, or
- 4:01postnatal age, hypoglycemia is
- 4:02considered if you have a blood glucose
- 4:05level below 0.45 g/l. From the moment
- 4:09it is pathological, if its blood
- 4:12glucose drops below 0.45 g/l, it is
- 4:14hypoglycemia. Now, we can only speak of
- 4:16severe hypoglycemia requiring urgent
- 4:18intravenous treatment when you have a
- 4:20blood glucose level that is less than
- 4:22or equal to 0.22 g/l. Less than or
- 4:24equal to 0.22 g/l, the infant will
- 4:27convulse. It will burn out all its
- 4:28neurons without debate. So, at 0.2 g/l,
- 4:30we don't argue; we admit the infant,
- 4:33place an intravenous line, and do the
- 4:35maximum. If there is no venous access,
- 4:37it's an umbilical catheter or even a
- 4:39central line. You really must do the
- 4:40maximum. And in the meantime, don't
- 4:43panic; you can administer the
- 4:44equivalent via the gastric route,
- 4:46either by syringe or however you like,
- 4:48while waiting to establish access.
- 4:51Regardless of postnatal age, and I put
- 4:54this in red on purpose, any symptomatic
- 4:56child with a blood glucose level below
- 4:590.4 g/l must receive urgent treatment.
- 5:01Because from the moment the child is
- 5:03symptomatic, whether they are
- 5:04convulsing, hypotonic, or not doing
- 5:06well, it means this is a blood glucose
- 5:08level that is problematic. To measure
- 5:12capillary blood glucose, you must have
- 5:14an adapted device, and be aware that
- 5:16just any diabetic monitor won't give
- 5:17you the same reading. They have to be
- 5:20devices specifically designed for
- 5:22newborns. In fact, even here, we don't
- 5:24work with ordinary blood glucose
- 5:26monitors. These are special newborn
- 5:29monitors calibrated for newborn blood.
- 5:33And so, you must know that polycythemia
- 5:35lowers the result. When you have a baby
- 5:37with polycythemia, it is possible to
- 5:39find a low blood glucose level when it
- 5:41actually isn't low. It is simply
- 5:43because the child has polycythemia. No
- 5:45skin disinfection with alcohol because
- 5:47that will also lead to a low figure. So
- 5:50when you want to disinfect, generally
- 5:52use chlorhexidine, not alcohol, for a
- 5:54newborn. It also risks lowering the
- 5:56result. For venous blood glucose
- 5:59measurement, and this is new, even with
- 6:01alcohol, when you disinfect with
- 6:03alcohol, you lower the result. When
- 6:07measuring venous blood glucose, the
- 6:09sample must be sent to the lab without
- 6:11delay, because when you delay, there is
- 6:13glucose remaining that gets consumed,
- 6:15and so we will also have a lower result
- 6:17. So when you perform a blood glucose
- 6:20test, it must be sent as quickly as
- 6:22possible. The sample inevitably, you
- 6:26will have a blood glucose level that is
- 6:27abnormally low when it is not the case.
- 6:31Newborns at risk, no indication. For a:
- 6:34you have a baby who is full-term,
- 6:36eutrophic, has a good, perfectly normal
- 6:38weight, who is healthy in the maternity
- 6:40ward, whose birth was normal, there is
- 6:42nothing to report. Actually, we look
- 6:43for nothing, we won't overcomplicate
- 6:45things. A hypothermic newborn, yes,
- 6:48there is an increased risk of
- 6:49hypoglycemia. He is in hypothermia, he
- 6:52is also at risk of hypoglycemia. That
- 6:54is why we insist on transfers: when you
- 6:56have a newborn who is to be transferred
- 6:58from a hospital facility, we insist on
- 7:00warming; if it is not a transport
- 7:02incubator, at least the kangaroo method
- 7:04I told you about, skin-to-skin, and
- 7:06then of course either an IV line or, if
- 7:08we cannot get one, at least have them
- 7:10accompanied by someone who will give 10
- 7:12%glucose serum throughout the transport
- 7:14, because the risk of hypoglycemia is
- 7:16even greater. A newborn to develop
- 7:22hypoglycemia, especially when the
- 7:24weight is above the 97th percentile and
- 7:26especially when it is disharmonious
- 7:28macrosomia. So, you have a head
- 7:31circumference and height that are
- 7:33completely preserved, just an increased
- 7:35weight. Because sometimes macrosomia is
- 7:39harmonious, the head circumference is
- 7:41large, the height is large, and so the
- 7:43baby is like a three-month-old baby,
- 7:45not a newborn, given how significant
- 7:47the measurements are. But sometimes,
- 7:49only the weight is high, while the head
- 7:51circumference and height are completely
- 7:53normal. Hypoglycemia in this case, the
- 7:58baby is cushingoid, because regardless
- 8:00of the weight, head circumference, or
- 8:02height, you have a normal head
- 8:04circumference and height, but he looks
- 8:06small in stature yet puffy. So for
- 8:11hypoglycemia, it's the 97th percentile
- 8:13for weight according to age, which is
- 8:15what we call the Intergrowth-21st
- 8:17curves, which are the most recent ones
- 8:19we use, and it also depends on
- 8:21gestational age and sex. For a girl,
- 8:27you will see that she will be
- 8:28considered macrosomic at a weight
- 8:30slightly lower than a boy, because boys
- 8:32are generally known to have a higher
- 8:34weight than girls from a very early age
- 8:35. And so, as age progresses, the figure
- 8:40increases to define whether or not it
- 8:42is macrosomia. For example, a baby born
- 8:45at 40 weeks weighing 4.2 kg, we are not
- 8:47concerned. 4 kg at 37 weeks is a
- 8:49significant macrosome. So, 4 kg. Do you
- 8:53understand? Newborns of diabetic
- 8:57mothers treated with insulin, we just
- 8:59talked about them. Regardless of the
- 9:02type of diabetes, whether
- 9:04insulin-dependent or not, you must
- 9:06systematically monitor diabetes if the
- 9:08mother is treated with insulin, but no,
- 9:10if she is treated by diet alone, it is
- 9:12not necessary. A mother who has
- 9:16gestational diabetes managed by diet
- 9:18alone doesn't have a baby predisposed
- 9:20to hyperinsulinism, because the baby
- 9:22isn't receiving insulin while in the
- 9:23mother's womb. Right? When you have a
- 9:27fetus that has no growth abnormalities,
- 9:29you do nothing. Now, you have a mother
- 9:31who has been on insulin and is a known
- 9:32pre-existing diabetic. Whether
- 9:34insulin-dependent or not. The baby is
- 9:36predisposed to having problems. A
- 9:38premature newborn in the maternity ward
- 9:40should have blood drawn or be checked
- 9:42at least three times. And also
- 9:44growth-restricted newborns because they
- 9:46are predisposed to having hypoglycemia
- 9:48problems. Newborns of mothers on
- 9:51treatments like Depakine—incidentally
- 9:53, I don't know if you're aware, but
- 9:55Depakine is now normally
- 9:57contraindicated for girls of
- 9:58childbearing age, women in general, and
- 10:00girls from the age of puberty, starting
- 10:03at 14. Why? Because they found that it
- 10:06causes malformations. It is teratogenic
- 10:08for the baby. I don't know if you're
- 10:10aware, but it's very recent. So for
- 10:13sodium valproate, for moms who are
- 10:15epileptic, we offer them many other
- 10:17products, not Depakine. They should be
- 10:21warned about it. Because beta-blockers
- 10:26will cause this blood sugar to drop in
- 10:28the baby, because when the mom is on a
- 10:30beta-blocker like Ablocarde. This
- 10:33transition must cause a drop in blood
- 10:34sugar. Bronchodilators, especially
- 10:38beta-mimetics—and for the older
- 10:40schools, when a mom presented with
- 10:41threatened premature labor, we used to
- 10:43offer her beta-mimetics as treatment,
- 10:45which would cause both tachycardia in
- 10:47the mom and a risk of hypoglycemia in
- 10:49the baby. Now, there are other
- 10:54medications offered, like
- 10:55antihypertensives, antidiabetics like
- 10:58Glucophage, metformin or Daonil, and
- 11:00sulfonylureas; these, too, can cause
- 11:02recurring hypoglycemia in the baby. So,
- 11:06the newborn...there's a third, not
- 11:08hypothermia; the newborn in a context
- 11:10of moderate perinatal hypoxia. So any
- 11:12situation of distress, whether it's
- 11:14hypotrophy, macrosomia, fetal distress,
- 11:16infection, polycythemia, or neonatal
- 11:19respiratory distress, will predispose
- 11:21this baby to developing hypoglycemia.
- 11:23Clinical sign: most often this baby is
- 11:25asymptomatic, and that is what's
- 11:27serious, because being asymptomatic
- 11:29means we might...When it is symptomatic
- 11:34, we have clinical signs that are
- 11:35telling. The child will move on to...
- 11:38will show neurological signs, be
- 11:40lethargic, hypotonic, have a weak
- 11:42sucking reflex, a really very weak cry,
- 11:44and sometimes it can go straight to
- 11:46convulsions, tremors, irritability, and
- 11:49more; there are feeding difficulties.
- 11:56Cyanotic spells and...be careful, the
- 11:58warning signs are not very specific,
- 11:59meaning it's a baby that can give the
- 12:01false impression of being completely
- 12:03normal. From the moment you have one of
- 12:07the criteria you should be flagged on,
- 12:09I'd say whether it's infection,
- 12:11distress, hypotrophy, or macrosomia,
- 12:13you must evaluate these babies, at
- 12:15least do a blood glucose check—a
- 12:17check won't kill them. If you have
- 12:18clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia
- 12:20, a capillary blood glucose check must
- 12:22be done in the minutes that follow.
- 12:23That is to say, you correct it, and
- 12:25then you see if their blood sugar will
- 12:26rise or not. If the hypoglycemia is
- 12:28symptomatic, management should be
- 12:30carried out as an emergency. And it's
- 12:32no longer the oral route; it's strictly
- 12:34the intravenous route because it is
- 12:35already symptomatic, meaning the brain
- 12:37has already been affected. To prevent
- 12:40hypoglycemia in the delivery room, one
- 12:42must first maintain normothermia.
- 12:44Earlier, we mentioned that hypothermia
- 12:46will aggravate hypoglycemia. So, you
- 12:47must keep the baby at a temperature of
- 12:5037 plus or minus 0.3 degrees. The first
- 12:52feeding should be early, and if you
- 12:54recall when we covered breastfeeding,
- 12:55we said they should be breastfed within
- 12:5730 minutes of birth. Especially if it
- 13:00is a mother who delivered vaginally:
- 13:01offer the breast within the following
- 13:0330 minutes. Subsequently, if it is
- 13:05breastfeeding, the feedings should be
- 13:07frequent at first, every 2 to 3 hours.
- 13:09Honestly, for the first week, certainly
- 13:11the first three days, for her to have a
- 13:13good supply, it is given on demand,
- 13:15madam. Every time they wake up, you
- 13:17give them the breast; if they don't
- 13:18wake up, you wake them after 2 or 3
- 13:20hours maximum, and you give them the
- 13:22breast because these babies sometimes
- 13:24have an inverted circadian rhythm; they
- 13:26sleep more during the day and wake up
- 13:27at night. You must not wait for them to
- 13:30wake up and ask for it. Sometimes, they
- 13:32enter hypoglycemia, they become
- 13:34lethargic, and the mother thinks they
- 13:36are fine. Whereas when we take them and
- 13:38perform a blood glucose test, we end up
- 13:39with levels that are really very, very
- 13:41low. If this baby is not breastfed,
- 13:45they must be fed at least 8 times a day
- 13:49. If they are hypoglycemic, it must be
- 13:52offered every 3 hours if not every 2
- 13:54hours. So it will depend on the
- 13:57indication. If the oral route is
- 14:06impossible, one must switch to the
- 14:07intravenous route. When I say
- 14:09impossibility of the oral route, for
- 14:10example enterocolitis, a baby we are
- 14:12preparing for potential surgery, they
- 14:14must be kept fasting, they might become
- 14:15hypoglycemic, so we must switch to the
- 14:17intravenous route without question. The
- 14:19first blood glucose test should be done
- 14:21before the second meal, generally
- 14:23around 3 or 4 hours after birth, to see
- 14:24if we are on the right track or not.
- 14:28Blood glucose should be checked every
- 14:30other meal, meaning every 4 to 6 hours,
- 14:32until there are three satisfactory
- 14:34readings. Then we stop monitoring. You
- 14:38have three normal readings with checks
- 14:40done every other meal, which is our
- 14:42standard procedure. We will then
- 14:44discontinue this monitoring. Monitoring
- 14:46and therapeutic management after the
- 14:47delivery room. This is an emergency;
- 14:49I'm marking it in red. When you have
- 14:54hypoglycemia that is below 0.2 g/L,
- 14:56this is a baby at risk of convulsing at
- 14:58any moment. If they haven't already,
- 15:00sometimes these babies do convulse.
- 15:05They choke, then you check the blood
- 15:07sugar, and you find it's below 0.2. A
- 15:10symptomatic newborn with hypoglycemia
- 15:12of less than 0.4 g/L, but in this case,
- 15:15they are symptomatic. Therefore, this
- 15:17is an indication for an intravenous
- 15:19line. If they weren't symptomatic, we
- 15:21would have just used the oral route, or
- 15:23for a newborn with underlying pathology
- 15:25and blood glucose below 0.45 g/L. Now,
- 15:27we shouldn't wait for the levels to
- 15:29drop even further. We should offer the
- 15:31intravenous route right away. The goal
- 15:34of intravenous treatment, regardless of
- 15:37postnatal age, is to achieve blood
- 15:39glucose greater than or equal to 0.45 g
- 15:41/L. You've noticed I've only been
- 15:44speaking in grams per liter because
- 15:45that's the unit we use most frequently.
- 15:49Any intravenous treatment justifies a
- 15:51transfer for monitoring and etiological
- 15:53and therapeutic management in a
- 15:54neonatology unit. That is our
- 16:02monitoring protocol. And when I say
- 16:03intravenous route, we rarely just set
- 16:05up an ordinary IV drip and leave it
- 16:07like that for a newborn. It is risky to
- 16:09use a standard IV drip bag. Honestly,
- 16:11we never do that; it is inadmissible
- 16:13and unacceptable. Because what is the
- 16:15risk? It's a small mass, a small volume
- 16:19that will pass, close to 500 mL; you
- 16:21turn your head, the product infuses
- 16:23rapidly, and hello trouble. So,
- 16:27normally, under the best conditions,
- 16:29you should use a syringe pump, which is
- 16:31ideal. That's what we do in neonatal
- 16:34units. If we don't have these syringe
- 16:36pumps and we have to set up a 500 mL
- 16:38drip, yes, we give the required amount.
- 16:40Why am I giving you these messages?
- 16:42Because one day you will find yourself
- 16:44in the emergency room as interns or as
- 16:46general practitioners somewhere, and
- 16:47these are reflexes to keep in mind. I
- 16:52only provide the necessary amount so
- 16:54that, in case of human error—since we
- 16:56never know what might happen—we won't
- 16:58harm the baby. So, make it a habit to
- 17:01give the right amount and keep only
- 17:03what is strictly necessary. Ideally,
- 17:05use a syringe pump in neonatal units,
- 17:07of course. Now, if you are in a
- 17:09maternity ward and need to administer
- 17:11this, just keep the required amount on
- 17:13hand. That way, even if the entire
- 17:14amount is administered, there is no
- 17:16risk of complications. Establishing
- 17:19venous access is very important. You
- 17:21cannot treat a If you're struggling,
- 17:25what can you do? You are searching for
- 17:29a vein, but you shouldn't just leave
- 17:30the baby without providing something to
- 17:32compensate for the deficiency. We will
- 17:35administer it orally. We will give 2 to
- 17:383 cc per kilo, either by syringe or
- 17:40directly via a gastric tube, while we
- 17:43establish an IV line. Honestly, when it
- 17:46comes to the oral route, I go straight
- 17:48to 3 cc per kilo if venous access is
- 17:50difficult, especially with a macrosomic
- 17:53baby, because in chubby babies, veins
- 17:55are not visible and with a continuous
- 18:12feeding, we ensure a stable intake, so
- 18:14it should be enriched. I have included
- 18:19a table at the end for you to see how
- 18:20it works. After establishing venous
- 18:24access, inject 2 to 3 cc per kilo of 10
- 18:27%glucose solution as a bolus. Remember
- 18:302 cc per kilo, or a maximum of 3 cc per
- 18:33kilo over about 5 minutes. So it must
- 18:35be administered quickly to correct low
- 18:37levels, especially those below 0.2,
- 18:39then followed by a continuous infusion.
- 18:42This is why we use a syringe pump with
- 18:4410%glucose. 2 to 3 cc per kilo, and we
- 18:47will increase or decrease it based on
- 18:49our blood glucose readings. So, either
- 18:53we get three consecutive normal blood
- 18:55glucose readings and we can gradually
- 18:57switch back to oral feeding only, or
- 18:59the glucose levels won't rise and we
- 19:01are forced to increase the dose. We can
- 19:03go up to 4 cc per kilo, but be aware
- 19:05that the higher the concentration, the
- 19:08less effective a peripheral venous line
- 19:10becomes. Therefore, if you increase the
- 19:12concentration through a peripheral vein
- 19:14, you will burn the veins of this
- 19:15newborn. So ideally, use a central
- 19:18venous line. The flow rate should be
- 19:20increased if there is an indication for
- 19:22an IV, especially if you have
- 19:24refractory hypoglycemia. Check the
- 19:26capillary blood glucose 30 to 60
- 19:28minutes after the IV injection. It is
- 19:32normalizing and you have a blood
- 19:34glucose level that reaches the desired
- 19:36figure, which is above 0.45. At that
- 19:38point, you must continue the venous
- 19:40access and transfer the child. I have
- 19:41insisted, I have insisted a lot on
- 19:43hypoglycemia because we see babies, you
- 19:45will see babies who are disabled in
- 19:47strollers or in wheelchairs because of
- 19:49hypoglycemia. It might seem trivial to
- 19:51you, but it is not trivial at all. A
- 19:52baby who has remained in hypoglycemia
- 19:54for a long time without being noticed
- 19:56risks having lifelong cerebral palsy.
- 19:59And so this is serious; it weighs on
- 20:01our conscience. If there is no
- 20:05normalization while waiting for the
- 20:07transfer, you must repeat our dose via
- 20:09the IV route and then increase the flow
- 20:11rate, which can reach 4 cc/kg, then
- 20:13check the blood glucose; beyond that,
- 20:15switch to a central line. I repeat,
- 20:18beyond 4 cc/kg, you risk burning the
- 20:20veins; it no longer works. Switch to a
- 20:23central line for the patient.
- 20:24Fortunately, you always have the
- 20:26umbilical catheter, which is possible
- 20:27especially when they arrive in the
- 20:29first few days before the cord dries or
- 20:31falls off. So, ideally, place it
- 20:32immediately; all the babies I have in
- 20:34the ward have an umbilical venous
- 20:36catheter placed upon arrival. You never
- 20:38know if they are coming for a simple
- 20:39infection or jaundice; it could turn
- 20:41out to be a urinary tract infection. So
- 20:43, if they have pyelonephritis, it is a
- 20:45minimum of 10 to 14 days of treatment.
- 20:46Imagine 10 to 14 days peripherally; we
- 20:49would kill this baby. Avoid any
- 20:52administration of 30%glucose solution.
- 20:56High concentrations should not be given
- 20:58, nor should any 10%glucose solution be
- 21:00administered in isolation without
- 21:02continuous support. That is, generally,
- 21:05G10 with calcium for the first 48 hours
- 21:08. Beyond 48 hours, ensure that it is
- 21:13well established and that they are
- 21:15producing urine correctly. I have some
- 21:22reactive hypoglycemia, because when you
- 21:24switch from 30%, it causes such a
- 21:25significant negative feedback that they
- 21:28risk developing reactive hypoglycemia
- 21:30when you give it without continuous
- 21:31support. There too, you risk the same
- 21:35thing of hypoglycemia, asymptomatic or
- 21:41close to it. I have placed them in the
- 21:46maternity ward, meaning from the moment
- 21:48they are not symptomatic, we can leave
- 21:49them with their mother but manage their
- 21:51hypoglycemia. In all cases,
- 21:53skin-to-skin contact is safe because
- 21:54hypothermia must be avoided. You place
- 21:56them skin-to-skin. This is the kangaroo
- 21:58method. So, you are already avoiding
- 22:00hypothermia. So, first of all, you
- 22:02reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
- 22:03Keeping the mother close to her child
- 22:0524/7, especially if she's breastfeeding
- 22:07, the baby needs to be with her. You
- 22:09don't want to put him elsewhere, making
- 22:11her go back and forth, especially with
- 22:13C-sections. I don't think that's going
- 22:15to make things any better. Support the
- 22:16start of lactation, especially if it's
- 22:18breastfeeding. Distinguish between
- 22:21exclusive breastfeeding and other
- 22:23feeding. No. If it's exclusive, the
- 22:26mother must feed the baby frequently.
- 22:29If it's partial or if the baby isn't
- 22:31breastfed, it's up to us to offer the
- 22:33right solution and even fortify it.
- 22:35Don't waste time when the child is
- 22:37unable to feed. I mean, recently I had
- 22:41a child who had severe hypoglycemia,
- 22:43and the mother told me: "The
- 22:44pediatrician..." but it's not a diverse
- 22:54case, an older child who’s picky and
- 22:57"never ate." But a newborn doesn't know
- 23:01that, they don't get that; they are
- 23:03here, and they must be fed. He isn't
- 23:05taking it? It means he’s hypotonic;
- 23:07don't overthink it. And ultimately, we
- 23:12end up with a baby having seizures just
- 23:14because we waited for him to be...to be
- 23:16hungry and to latch. So that’s not
- 23:18logical. We need to be careful with
- 23:20what we do; avoid forced oral feeding
- 23:22at all costs. If he can't latch, he
- 23:24can't latch. If he's hypotonic, he
- 23:26doesn't have a good reflex; he just
- 23:27doesn't. So, in the beginning, you have
- 23:29hypoglycemia, you must treat the
- 23:31hypoglycemia. We don't care about what
- 23:33happens afterward. Turn to intravenous
- 23:34intake, or possibly continuous enteral
- 23:36route if it's difficult to get venous
- 23:38access. I mean, we always have the
- 23:42fallback of using a gastric tube when
- 23:44you can't get an IV. It's simple: place
- 23:47a gastric tube and give him what he
- 23:49needs directly into his stomach. But
- 23:51the sucking reflex, he can't...Four
- 23:55levels of care will follow each other.
- 23:59Continued monitoring before each
- 24:00feeding as long as the blood sugar is
- 24:02abnormal. Every time you find an
- 24:05abnormal blood sugar, you must check it
- 24:07again before the next feeding. The goal
- 24:09is to normalize blood glucose levels
- 24:11and reach a figure above 0.45. And
- 24:13these are just stages, just so you have
- 24:15an idea. It's not about memorizing this
- 24:17. So what I would like you to learn is,
- 24:20first, knowing at what level to treat.
- 24:23For a pathological baby, it's 0.45. For
- 24:26a normal asymptomatic baby, it's 0.40.
- 24:29When it's below 0.2, it's intravenous.
- 24:31So, the indications for intravenous.
- 24:33What can we give orally? You should
- 24:35remember 2 to 3 cc per kilo orally.
- 24:37What can we give intravenously? 2 to 3
- 24:40cc intravenously in 5 minutes, and if
- 24:43we can't do it, it's glucagon. If we
- 24:45can't do that, it's the gastric tube.
- 24:47If you at least remember that, that is
- 24:49the essential part for me. The stages
- 24:52are just so you have a complete lesson,
- 24:54and you will see that it differs
- 24:56depending on whether the child is
- 24:58exclusively breastfed, not breastfed,
- 24:59or partially breastfed. And I will
- 25:03leave the other part for the next
- 25:05lesson. Thank you for your attention.
