Intravenously drip.
5% (isotonic) solution of Glucose-E is administered at a maximum rate of up to 7 ml (150 cap / min or 400 ml / h); the maximum daily intake for adults is 2 liters; 10% (hypertonic) solution of Glucose-E - up to 60 cap / min (3 ml / min); the maximum daily intake for adults is 1 liter.
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 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, 6 g of dextrose / kg / day are 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 of Glucose-E, you must take into account the permissible volume of the injected fluid: for children with a body weight of 2-10 kg is 100-165 ml / kg / day, children with a body weight of 10-40 kg - 45-100 ml / kg / day.
In the normal state of metabolism, the maximum rate of administration of Glucose-E adults - 0,25-0,5 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). Children the rate of administration of Glucose-E 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 a more complete assimilation of dextrose, administered in large doses, concomitantly with it prescribe short-acting insulin at the rate of 1 unit of short-acting insulin for 4-5 g of dextrose.
Patients with diabetes mellitus are administered dextrose under the control of its content in blood and urine.
