PQCNC NHPC Action Plan

Management of At-Risk Newborns for Hypoglycemia

IV Weaning protocol for Newborns with Hypoglycemia - Whether you're a hospital that has a Level 1 nursery or a Level 4 NICU, if you administer IV therapy, this weaning protocol can optimize treatment in newborns less than 48 hours old.  Written as a provider driven protocol, this resource aims to standardize and guide clinical decisions for both asymptomatic and symptomatic hypoglycemic newborns who require IV glucose treatment. 

Tracking Tool to support Hypoglycemia Protocol Implementation

Tracking Tool to Support Hypoglycemia Protocol Implementation 2.0 - updated by the folks at Caromont to include two additional criteria, has an apgar score at 1 minute of less than 6 and has signs or symptoms of low sugars
