The clinical significance of blood glucose changes in neonatal asphyxia

Objective To explore the clinical significance of blood glucose changes in neonatal asphyxia. Methods The datas of 110 children with neonatal asphyxia admitted to our department from September 2011 to September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed,58 cases were in mild asphyxia group,52 cases were in severe asphyxia group,the blood glucose levels and the proportions of its returned to normal were compared. Results The blood glucose level in mild asphyxia group was(3.420±0.810) mmol/L,the severe asphyxia group was(8.170±2.526) mmol/L,the difference was significant(t=2.132,P0.05).After 24 hours treatment,there were 50 cases(86.21%) with blood glucose value returned to normal level in mild asphyxia group,30 cases(57.69%) severe asphyxia group,the difference was significant(χ2=8.793,P 0.05).Conclusion Neonatal hyperglycemia disorder mostly occurres in children with severe asphyxia,fasting blood glucose level in children with mild asphyxia is lower;the regular treatment time of fasting blood glucose value returned to normal level in children with severe asphyxia is longer in comparison with that of children with mild asphyxia.Clinicians should strengthen blood glucose monitoring in neonatal asphyxia,actively treat the primary disease,promptly correct blood glucose disorder in children.
