Intravenously drip
5% solution injected at a maximum rate of up to 7 ml (150 cap / min (400 ml / h), the maximum daily dose for adults - 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.
In adults with a normal metabolism, the daily dose of dextrose administered should not exceed 4-6 g / kg, ie about 250-450 g (with a decrease in the metabolic rate of 30-40 ml / kg).
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.
Rate of administration: at a normal state of metabolism, 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). In children, the rate of administration should not exceed 0.5 g / kg / h, which is 5% solution - about 10 ml / min or 200 cap / min (20 cap = 1 ml).
