The continuous glucose monitoring sensor in neonatal intensive care

K Beardsall et al. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring in the very low birthweight baby requiring intensive care, as these infants are known to be at high risk of abnormalities of glucose control.

Method: Sixteen babies were studied from within 24 hours of delivery and for up to seven days.

Results: The subcutaneous glucose sensors were well tolerated and readings were comparable to those on near patient whole blood monitoring devices.

Conclusion: Continuous glucose monitoring is practical in neonates, giving detailed information about glucose control.
