The isotonic glucose solution (5%) is administered subcutaneously, intravenously drip, and also into the rectum in enemas, dripping 300-500 ml each.
Intravenous dropwise 5% glucose 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.
In adults with normal metabolism, the daily dose of glucose 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 g glucose / kg / day, followed by up to 15 g / kg / day. When calculating the dose of glucose with the introduction of 5% glucose solution, you must take into account the permissible volume of the injected fluid: 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 / day.
Rate of administration: with a normal metabolic state, the maximum rate of glucose administration to adults is 0.25-0.5 g / kg / h (with metabolic rate, the rate of administration is reduced to 0.125-0.25 g / kg / h). In children, the rate of glucose administration should not exceed 0.5 g / kg / h; which is 5 ml of solution - about 10 ml / min or 200 cap / min (20 cap = 1 ml).
For more complete and rapid assimilation of glucose, insulin can be administered subcutaneously at a rate of 1 unit of insulin per 4-5 g of glucose.
Watch the water-electrolyte balance!
It is necessary to control the level of sugar in the blood.
