“…After this study was completed a recently published report compared venous RST and HemoCue against the laboratory glucose oxidase method in newborn infants (1 3). It concluded that the HemoCue REFLOLUX S PACKED CELL VOLUME (PCV) overreads glucose concentrations in neonates and is potentially dangerous as a screening method for neonatal hypoglycaemia (13). This is supported by our results, although our HemoCue and RST measurements were performed on capillary samples.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare the performance and accuracy of the HemoCue B-Glucose photometer system and reagent strip tests used in conjunction with reflectance photometry against a reference plasma glucose method. One hundred consecutive babies admitted to the neonatal unit over a 6-month period were enrolled in the study. Each baby had a heelprick capillary glucose measured by HemoCue and reagent strip tests. At the same time venous plasma glucose and haematocrit were measured. The mean difference between the reagent strip test and plasma glucose was significantly less than the corresponding value for the HemoCue (0.015 +/- 1.41 vs 0.837 +/- 1.565 mmol l-1, mean +/- SD); however, the agreement limits between both methods and plasma glucose were wide. No significant effect of haematocrit was detected on either method. The HemoCue photometer does not offer any advantage over the widely used reagent strip tests in the neonatal period. However, the limits of agreement of both methods compared with plasma glucose are too wide to be clinically acceptable in the neonatal period.

“…This is in agreement with the ndings of other studies (4, 10). Ellis et al, however, found that the BM Strip test underestimated blood glucose in neonates (11). This was probably due to the immediate proces-sing of the blood samples, which involved storing them at ¡20°C.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the performance and accuracy of the BM Strip test used in conjunction with Re ectance photometry, and the new non-wipe strip test (Advantage) against a reference plasma glucose method. In total, 114 newborns consecutively admitted to the Neonatal Unit over a 6 mo period were enrolled into the study. Each newborn had their venous blood glucose measured by the BM Strip test and Advantage glucometer and the venous haematocrit was also determined. Plasma glucose was measured in the laboratory by the hexokinase method. The mean difference between the BM Strip test and plasma glucose was signi cantly less than the corresponding value for the Advantage glucometer (0.312, 95% con dence interval (CI) 0.11-0.51 vs 0.766, 95% CI 0.57-0.95], although the limits of agreement between both methods and plasma glucose were wide. Haematocrit did not in uence signi cantly the accuracy of either test. Conclusion:The new Advantage glucose meter does not offer any advantage over the BM Strip test. Owing to the wide limits of agreement of both methods compared with plasma glucose, their clinical value is limited in the neonatal period.

A central goal of The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breastfeeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient.Purpose
