Posted October 14, 201311 yr We are currently reviewing our postnatal guidelines and audited whether applying the latest AAP guidelines about hypoglycaemia screening of newborns at-risk would be feasible for our postnatal ward. One significant finding was that the babies had to be pricked 6 times on average within 24 hours, only to get low blood glucose measurements in about 5-10% of asymptomatic childen. I would be interested in your protocols of screening newborns at-risk of hypoglycaemia (are they less invasive?).
