| Abstract |
|
The blood glucose response to a constant glucose infusion were measured in 36 low birth
weight infants with birth weight 950 to 2,000 gm.
The study includes 27 control premature infants and 9 stressed premature infants who had
respiratory distress. Glucose values were similar in both the control and stressed groups in
the cord and preinfusion samples. In the first postinfusion sample, hyperglycemia was seen in
5(19%) of control and in 4(44%) of stressed premature infants with blood glucose values above 125 mg/dl.
In the second postinfusion samples(24 hr), hyperglycemia was seenin 3(11%)
of control and in 2(22%) of stressed premature infants. Hyperglycemia in premature infants
seem to be related to stress.
There was no signifficant difference of mortality between hyperglycemic and euglycemic
stressed infants. Stress itself, rather than hyperglycemia, was believed to increase the mortality.
