The isotonic solution of dextrose (5%) is administered subcutaneously,intravenously (dropwise) at a maximum rate of up to 7.5 ml (150 cap / min) (400 ml / h); from 300-2000 ml of solution per day; hypertensive solution (10%) - up to 60 cap / min (3 ml / min); the maximum daily dose for adults is 1000 ml.
20% solution - up to 30-40 cap / min (1.5-2 ml / min); the maximum daily intake for adults is 500 ml.
Intravenously sprayed - 10-50 ml 5% and 10% solutions.
In adults with a normal metabolism, the daily dose of dextrose administered should not exceed 4-6 g / kg / day, i.e. about 250-450 g / day (with a decrease in the metabolic rate, the daily dose is reduced to 200-300 g), while the volume of the injected liquid is 30-40 ml / kg / day.
Children for parenteral nutrition, along with fats and amino acids, 6 g of dextrose / kg / day are administered on the first day, followed by up to 15 g / kg / day.
When calculating the dose of dextrose with the administration of 5% and 10% solutions, it is necessary to take into account the permissible volume of the injected fluid: for children with a weight of 2-10 kg - 100-165 ml / kg / day, children with a weight of 10-40 kg - 45-100 ml / kg / day.
The rate of administration: at the normal state of metabolism, the maximum rate of administration to adults is 0.25-0.5 g / kg / h (with a decrease in the intensity of the metabolism, the rate of administration is reduced to 0.125-0.25 g / kg / h). In children, the rate of administration should not exceed 0.5 g / kg / h, which is 5% for a solution - about 10 ml / min - 200 drops / min (20 drops = 1 ml).
In cases of severe dehydration, 3-5 liters of isotonic solution of dextrose are possible.
Patients with diabetes dextrose are administered under the control of sugar in the blood and urine.
