Using Dexcom G7 in Critically Ill Infant With Hyperinsulinemia on High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation Support
There is limited information on using the Dexcom G7 CGM device in infants with underlying hypoglycemic conditions on HFOV support. The use of HFOV poses a unique physiological challenge for using a CGM device. We demonstrate that the Dexcom G7 is safe to use while on HFOV. The device provided important glycemic trends, which helped to reduce the number of point-of-care tests and allowed for early detection of hypoglycemia.
