The use of oral dextrose gel (DG) reduces IV dextrose use. Prior studies used weight-based dosing (WD), though barriers exist, and are mitigated using standard dosing (SD). Our outcomes include IV dextrose use, NICU admissions, breastfeeding, adverse events, and assessment of WD vs SD.
Retrospective chart review comparing pre-DG, WD, and SD in 16490 newborns (1329 hypoglycemic) ≥ 35 weeks admitted to the nursery over 3 years.
There was reduction in IV dextrose use 10.9% vs 6.5% (p = 0.004) and NICU admissions 27.9% vs 16.1% (p < 0.001) associated with DG use, and increased rate of breastfed infants 33.8% vs 43.5% (p = 0.001), with no difference between WD and SD. No difference noted in adverse events across the study period.
DG utilization is associated with reduced IV dextrose use, NICU admissions, and improved breastfeeding rates without changes in adverse events. We offer SD as a safe alternative to WD.
口服葡萄糖凝胶(DG)的使用可减少静脉内葡萄糖的使用。先前的研究使用了基于体重的剂量(WD),尽管存在障碍,但使用标准剂量(SD)可以减轻这些障碍。我们的研究结果包括静脉内葡萄糖的使用、NICU 入院、母乳喂养、不良事件,以及 WD 与 SD 的评估。
对 3 年内 16490 名(1329 名低血糖)≥35 周大的新生儿在使用 DG 前、WD 和 SD 进行回顾性图表审查。
与 DG 相关,IV 葡萄糖的使用率从 10.9%降至 6.5%(p=0.004),NICU 入院率从 27.9%降至 16.1%(p<0.001),母乳喂养的婴儿比例从 33.8%增至 43.5%(p=0.001),而 WD 和 SD 之间无差异。在整个研究期间,不良事件的发生率没有差异。
DG 的使用与 IV 葡萄糖的使用减少、NICU 入院率降低和母乳喂养率提高有关,而不良事件没有变化。我们提供 SD 作为 WD 的安全替代方案。
