Abstract: (3747 Views) |
| Context: Hyperglycemia after resuscitation in both critically-ill adults and preterm newborns is associated with increased mortality and poor brain outcome. Lactose, composed of 50% glucose and 50% galactose is the unique means Nature offers to the newborn, who in absence of modern care suffers from severe bioenergetic impairment, similarly to adults resuscitated after cardiac arrest. Aim of this study is to review these issues, to understand how we may improve outcomes in intensive care units. |
