Intravenously drip.
5% the solution is administered 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 60 cap / min (3 ml / min); the maximum daily intake for adults is 1 liter.
20% solution - up to 30-40 cap / min (1.5-2 ml / min); the maximum daily intake for adults is 500 ml.
40% solution - up to 30 cap / min (1.5 ml / min); the maximum daily intake for adults is 250 ml.
Intravenously streamwise - 10-50 ml of 5% and 10% solutions.
In adults with a normal metabolism, the daily dose of dextrose administered should not exceed 4-6 g / kg, i.e. about 250-450 g (with a decrease in intensity metabolism of the daily dose is reduced to 200-300 g), with a daily volume of injected liquid - 30-40 ml / kg. The maximum rate of dextrose administration to adults is 0.25-0.5 g / kg / h (with a decrease in the metabolic rate, the rate of administration is reduced to 0.125-0.25 g / kg / h).
Children apply solutions with a concentration of no higher than 20-25%; the rate of dextrose administration should not exceed 0.75 g / kg / h. Children for parenteral nutrition along with fats and amino acids on the first day, 6 g of dextrose / kg / day, followed by up to 15 g / kg / day. When calculating the dose of dextrose with the administration of 5% and 10% of dextrose solutions, the permissible volume of the injected fluid should be taken into account: for children with a body weight of 2-10 kg, 100-165 ml / kg / day, children with a body weight of 10-40 kg - 45-100 ml / kg / h.
For more complete assimilation of dextrose, administered in large doses, concomitantly with it prescribe insulin of short action 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.
