Pediatric critical Glucose ranges

Hi Adonica,
Our low is <40 mg/dL and high is >250 for NICU and >400 housewide, which includes PICU.
Hope this helps!

Hi Adonica - Happy Friday. Our pediatric critical range is 50 - 400. 

Here are our normal ranges, followed by Critical Values for POC glucose testing

     Patient Age                Reference Range 
< 1 day-30 days                  40-90 mg/dL 
> 30 days-2 years              60-110 mg/dL 
> 2 Years-Adult                  70-120 mg/dL 

      Patient Age                    Critical Values 
< 1 day-30 days              < 25 or > 200 mg/dL
 > 30 days-2 years         < 40 or > 300 mg/dL 
> 2 Years-Adult              < 50 or > 400 mg/dL 

Baby   < 1 year old         <30 and >300
Peds 1 - 12 yrs               <40 and >400
adult > 12 yrs                <40 and >500 

Our pediatric critical range is <50 or >300

Interested to see all the info you collect Adonica! Maybe it's time to revisit our long standing ranges. 

Our glucose ranges are:
0-1 day  40-105
1-7 days 53-107
> 7 days 70-100

Critical ranges:
Pediatric (<18 yrs): <40 or >300
Adult:  <40 or >400

Sure would be nice to have a standardized range somewhere!

Hi Adonica,
Hope this helps :)

Expected values for neonates (up to 4 days of age): 40 - 90 mg/dL.[1]

                                                     5 days to 18 years: 65 -110 mg/dL 

Critical values are defined as follows:   

                        

                        Glucose         0-4 days                     <25 mg/dL     >180 mg/dL

                        Glucose         5 days – 18 years     <60 mg/dL     >180 mg/dL

                        Glucose         > 18 years                  <60 mg/dL     >400 mg/dL
