Iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycaemia - what does this mean

Iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycaemia is a condition that occurs in newborns when they are exposed to certain medications, such as insulin, during labour and delivery, which can cause a decrease in their blood sugar levels. this can cause serious complications for the newborn if not treated quickly.

What happens during the disease - iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycaemia

Iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycaemia is a condition in which the newborn baby's blood sugar levels are abnormally low due to the administration of too much insulin or other glucose-lowering medications by the healthcare provider. this can occur when the healthcare provider fails to properly monitor the infant's glucose levels and administer the correct amount of medication, or when the mother has been given too much insulin during labor or delivery. this condition can lead to serious complications for the baby, including seizures, coma, and even death.

Iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycaemia - Prevention

Iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycaemia can be prevented by monitoring the mother's blood sugar levels during pregnancy, ensuring that newborns are fed regularly and properly, and administering glucose to newborns if needed. breastfeeding is also recommended as it helps to maintain a steady blood sugar level.
