Hypoglycemia
• Fetal period
• Transitional period
![Page 3: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Fetal glucose homeostasis
• Fetus gets glucose by facilitated diffusion across placenta.
• GLUT 1 & 3 are present in placenta and fetal membrane
• Factors affecting glucose transport:
(a) Maternal glucose concentration
(b) Materno fetal glucose gradient
(c) Fetal endocrine milieu
(d) Degree of placental metabolism of glucose
Fetal glucose conc. is significantly lower than that of maternal BS.(20-30%)
• Linear relationship exists between prevailing maternal BS andfetal BS.

After delivery
• Harmones
• Receptors
• Key enzymes

Hormonal changes
Term healthy baby : increases hepatic glucoseproduction & generates alternate fuels (FFA andketone bodies) by suppressing insulin and increasingsecretion of counter regulatory hormones (glucagon,cortisol, and catecholamine)
This response is absent in Preterm, SGA, IDM,smaller of twins, infants of erythroblastosis fetalis.

• Confirming a diagnosis of clinically significant hypoglycemia requires, that one interpret the blood glucose level within the clinical context.

• Persistent hypoglycemia is associated with endocrine abnormalities and possible neurologic sequalae.
• The absence of overt symptom at low glucose levels does not rule out CNS injury.

Outcome
Abnormal neurodevelopmental assessment• Asymptomatic –6%
• Symptomatic with no seizure-12%
• Symptomatic with seizure-50%
In recurrent & persistent hypoglycemia• >3days-29%
• >5-7 days-42%

Management
Same management for Asymptomatic and Symptomatic
Consider & treat secondary causes Minibolus - 200 mg/kg glucose as 2 ml/kg of 10%
dextrose over1 minute. Infusion of 10%dextrose @ 6 mg/kg/min (3.6
ml/kg/hour) Do not bolus without increasing the infusion rate Check blood glucose after 15 minutes Use infusion pumps If no contraindication, start feeds simultaneously
![Page 15: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Management Algorithm
Blood glucose (BG) < 40 mg/dl by strip
-------->Evaluate causes
Start IV lineMinibolus –2 ml/kg 10% dextrose IV over 1 minStart 10% dextrose infusion @ 6 mg/kg/min
EBM/formula feeds if no contraindication -------->
Check BG after 15 min
![Page 16: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
BG > 40 mg/dl ----->continuesame infusion and monitorblood glucose
BG < 40 mg/dlIncrease infusion rate by 2 mg/kg/min every 15 mintill euglycemia*. Use 2 IV lines at high infusion rates. Max: 12-14 mg/kg/min (12.5% dextrose)
Intractable HypoglycemiaCheck insulin : glucose ratioCentral venous lineHydrocortisone, Glucagon, Diazoxide
*Giving boluses of dextrose without increasing the infusion rate is of no use

Tapering of dextrose infusion
When blood glucose has remained normal for 12 hours or if blood glucose exceeds 100 mg/dl, decrease the infusion by 2 mg/kg/min every 4-6 hours while checking blood glucose.
![Page 21: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Intractable hypoglycemia
• Uncorrected hypoglycemia despite a glucose infusion rate of 10-12 mg/kg/min or lasting more than 5-7 days
• Blood samples for glucose, insulin & C-peptide levels, other hormones and serum ammonia
• A central line to infuse higher concentration and higher rate of glucose.
• Glucagon 300 μg/kg IV or SC, or as infusion • Diazoxide 10-15 mg/kg/day P.O. or IV in 3 or 4
divided doses along with Chlorthiazide , Octreotide and Nifedipine

Key Messages
Both hypo and hyperglycemia are bad.
Checking BG is the only way to diagnose-anticipate and monitor.
Titrate glucose infusion rate to maintain euglycemia

Hypernatremia >150 mEq/l in PT
Incidence ? 10 - 40 % , Higher in < 28 wks
Hyperosmolality increases CNS morbidity
Cause :
Insufficient water intake,
Excessive IWL
Excessive sodium intake in VLBW
![Page 32: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Treatment of Hypernatremia

For shock use N Saline
![Page 33: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Clinical Example:• 3 kg Neonate with poor feeding & lactation failure),
weighing 2.1 kgs on d 20 . S.Na is 175 meq/L.
Step 1 Assess water loss :
• Water Deficit = expected lean weight - current weight.
• Baby with poor feeding will loose lean body mass
• 0.5 to 1% mass every day.
• At loss of 0.5%/ d for 20d = 0.5% X 20 d of 3Kg
=3 kg minus 300 gm = 2700 Gms.
• As the baby weighs 2.1 kg at admission,
• Water deficit will be 2700 – 2100 = 600 gms or ml
![Page 34: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Example • 2.7 kg baby wt 2.1 kg ,Na 175,
• Fluid deficit 2700 – 2100 = 600 ml
• Free Water Deficit = ( Actual Na – Desired Na/actual Na) X O.6 X Weight (kg)
• Or = (175 – 145/175) X 0.6 X 2.7 ie 0.277 L.
Calculate Na Deficit (meq) =
• Fluid Deficit (L) – Free water def (L) X 0.6 X actual Na
• = 0.6 – 0.277 x 0.6 x 175 = 33.9meq.
• Calculate final fluid composition
![Page 35: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Example : final fluid composition
• Goal : correct water deficit 600 ml and Na deficit of 33.9 meq over 3 days.
• (Not more than 10 meq Na/ d). i.e. 200 ml of fluid deficit and 11.3 meq of Na deficit per day.
• Total fluid for D 1 = Maintenance fluid + deficit (200 ml)
• Maintenance Fluid = insensible losses (30ml/kg) + urine output
• Total Na on D1 = Maintenance Na(3/kg) + Deficit (11.3 meq)
• Similarly fluid is calculated for next 2 days.

Therapy of Hyponatremia
• mEq Na required =
(desired Na - present Na) X 0.6 X wt
If seizure, coma, Na<120meq/l, Correct to 125 mEq/l within 4 hrs
• Use 3% NaCl = 513 mEq/L (0.5meq/mL)Dose:125-Actual XwtX0.6 in 4 Hrs
• Delay in correction may cause death
• Rest of correction : +maintainance over 48 Hrs
![Page 44: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Example: Fast correction
• S. Na = 115meq/L in a 2 kg baby
• Desired Na = 125meq/L
• Na Deficit = (125-115) X2 Kg X0.6 = 12meq in 4 h.
• Vol of 3% NaCl (0.5meq/mL) = 24 ml in 4 h
• Rest of correction upto 135 meq (=10meq) + maintainance3/kg in 48 hrs
![Page 45: hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance in newborn](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020106/55a719d91a28abca048b474c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Example:Slow correction • S. Na = 122meq/L on Day 7 in a 1.5 kg baby
• Desired Na = 135meq/L
• Na Deficit = (135-122)X1.5X0.6 = 11.7meq.
• To be corrected over 48 h.
• Maintenance Na (3meq/kg/day) = 3 X 1.5 X 2 = 9 meq.
• Total Na for 48 h = 11.7 + 9 = 20.7meq.
• Fluid requirement for 48 h = 150 X 1.5 X 2 = 450 ml.
• Hence 21 meq Na in 450 ml of fluids over 48 hours
• i.e. around 5 meq Na in 100 ml OR N/3 solution,

Late hyponatremia in PT 1-5wk
• Etiology: Poor Na conservation by kidneys
• Negative Na balance and excess ECF.
• Adding NaCl to the formula
normalizes Na, increases blood volume &
inhibits ADH secretion.
