title: [Glucose homeostasis against a background of respiratory distress in premature infants].
abstract: The investigation was designed to study the impact of respiratory disturbances on the level of glucose in premature infants who, on being born, had a very low body mass. The results obtained showed that blood concentration of glucose in children against the background of respiratory distress is variable. Hypoglycemia often develops irrespective of the degree of respiratory distress but long-continued episodes of low blood glucose are common in severe degree of the condition. With aggravation of respiratory failure resulting in abnormalities of metabolism, particularly that of complicated by generalized infection, extensive intracranial hematomas, there is much probability that hyperglycemia will develop. For the neonates, who, on being born, have a very low body mass, particularly so in the presence of severe respiratory disorders, it is necessary that an hour-to-hour monitoring be conducted of blood glucose levels in order that we might correct possible disturbances in an adequate and timely fashion.
