ONE OF THE TECHNOLOGIES that many of us have incorporated into our practice is point- of-care testing (POCT). Any diagnostic blood test performed physically close to the patient versus in a centralized laboratory is POCT. Whole-blood home glucose monitoring for diabetics is probably the most widely used and accepted form of POCT. This technology easily translates to our world of the NICU. Many neonates— including preterm infants, those who are small for gestational age, large for gestational age, born to diabetic mothers, on intravenous fluids, receiving steroids, or requiring surgery— need frequent glucose monitoring.
