Neonatal Hypoglycemia: GIR Engine
Pro Tip: Central Access & Dextrose Limits
If the current peripheral Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR) is insufficient to maintain euglycemia, remember that peripheral IV access is strictly capped at a maximum concentration of D12.5W to prevent tissue sclerosis. If the infant requires higher dextrose concentrations or fluid restriction, immediately evaluate for central umbilical line access (UVC) to safely escalate therapy.
Verify central vs peripheral access limits before increasing dextrose concentration.
