Intravenously drip - up to 30 cap / min (1.5 ml / min), maximum. the daily dose for adults is 250 ml.
In adults with 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 the metabolic rate, the daily dose is reduced to 200-300 g), while the daily volume of the injected liquid is 30-40 ml / kg.
Children for parenteral nutrition, along with fats and amino acids, on the first day, 6 grams of dextrose / kg / day, followed by up to 15 g / kg / day.
Rate of administration: with a normal metabolic state, the maximum rate of dextrose administration to adults is 0.25-0.5 g / kg / h (with a decrease in metabolic rate, 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.
For more complete assimilation of dextrose, administered in large doses, simultaneously with her, insulin is prescribed at the rate of 1 unit of insulin per 4-5 g of dextrose. Diabetic patients with dextrose are administered under the control of its content in the blood and urine.
