[Effect of early feeding with glucose solution on the incidence of hypoglycemia in dysmature and hypotrophic newborn infants].

Dysmature and small-for-date infants we fed with solution glucosi 20% in a first group of the 12th hour of life, in a second group of the 6th hour. The blood-glucose value in the first three days of life we found in the second group significant greater than in the first group. The hypoglycemia-rate in the first group was 9,2% in the second group 0,6%.
