First aid glucose administration routes for symptomatic hypoglycaemia
To help guide first-aid care, the International Liaison Comittee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) uses a continuous evidence evaluation process for resuscitation and relevant first-aid topics. This process culminates in the production of a consensus on science with treatment recommendations (CoSTR). Whilst previous work by ILCOR has helped to establish the role of oral glucose (i.e. tablets) over dietary sugars, the optimal enteral route for glucose administration was unknown.
