Intravenously drip
- 5% solution injected at a maximum rate of up to 7 ml (150 cap / min) (400 ml / h); the maximum daily intake for adults is 2 liters.
10% solution - up to 3 ml (60 cap) / min; the maximum daily intake for adults is 1 liter.
Intravenously sprayed - 10 to 50 ml 5% or 10% solution.
In adults with a normal metabolism, the daily dose of dextrose administered should not exceed 4 to 6 g / kg, i.e. about 250 to 450 g (with a decrease in the metabolic rate, the daily dose is reduced to 200-300 g), while the daily volume of the injected liquid is from 30 to 40 ml / kg.
Children for parenteral nutrition, along with fats and amino acids, dextrose at a dose of 6 g / kg / day is administered on the first day, followed by up to 15 g / kg / day.
To calculate the dose of dextrose with the administration of 5% and 10% solutions, you must take into account the permissible volume of the injected fluid: for children with a body weight of 2 to 10 kg - from 100 to 165 ml / kg / day; Children with a body weight of 10 to 40 kg - from 45 to 100 ml / kg / day.
Rate of administration: at the normal state of metabolism, the maximum rate of dextrose administration to adults is from 0.25 to 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 dextrose administration should not exceed 0.5 g / kg / h, which is 5% solution of about 10 ml / min, or 200 cap / min (20 cap = 1 ml).
For more complete assimilation of dextrose, administered in large doses, concurrently with it, short-acting insulin is administered at the rate of 1 unit of insulin per 4-5 g of dextrose.
Patients with diabetes mellitus are administered dextrose under the control of its content in blood and urine.
