Intravenous drip, 5% 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 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. When calculating the dose of dextrose with the administration of 5% and 10% solutions of dextrose, 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: at the 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 intensity of the metabolism, 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; which is 5 ml of solution - about 10 ml / min or 200 cap / min (20 cap = 1 ml).
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.
