Normofundin G-5 is injected into the peripheral and central veins.
Recommended doses
The dose of the drug depends on the level of glucose in the blood, the patient's need for fluids and electrolytes.
The maximum daily dose
Elderly, adults and children from the age of 14 years 40 ml / kg body weight, corresponding to 2.0 g glucose / kg body weight, 4 mmol sodium / kg body weight and 0.7 mmol potassium / kg body weight.
Maximum injection rate
5 ml / kg body weight / hour or 1.6 drops / kg body weight / min, which corresponds to 0.25 g glucose / kg body weight / hour.
Duration of application
The solution can be used for several days. Duration of application is determined by the clinical condition of the patient and laboratory indicators.
General recommendations for the use of carbohydrates
Under normal metabolism, the total amount of carbohydrates administered should not exceed 350-400 g per day. With the introduction of such doses, glucose is fully absorbed.
The appointment of higher doses may cause the development of adverse side effects and lead to fatty liver infiltration. In conditions of disturbed metabolism, for example, after extensive surgery or trauma, hypoxic stress or organ failure, the daily dose should be reduced to 200-300 g, which corresponds to 3 g / kg of body weight / day.The selection of individual doses includes mandatory laboratory monitoring.
The following adult dose limits should be strictly observed: 0.25 g glucose / kg body weight / hour and up to 6 g / kg body weight / day. The administration of solutions containing carbohydrates, regardless of concentration, should always be accompanied by monitoring of blood glucose level in both operative intervention and conservative management of the patient. To prevent overdose of carbohydrates, it is recommended to use infusion pumps, especially when using solutions with a high concentration of carbohydrates.
General recommendations for the use of liquid and electrolyte solutions
Dose 30 ml of solution / kg of body weighta/ day covers only the physiological needs of the body in the liquid. In patients undergoing surgery and patients in critical conditions, fluid requirements increase due to reduced renal concentration function and increased excretion of metabolic products, which leads to the need to increase fluid intake to about 40 ml / kg body weight / day.
Additional losses (fever, diarrhea, fistula, vomiting, etc.) must be compensated for by an even higher injection of liquid, the level of which is set individually.
The actual individual level of fluid demand is determined by sequential monitoring of clinical and laboratory indicators (urine output, serum and urine osmolality, determination of excreted substances).
The main replacement of the most important sodium and potassium cations is 1.5-3.0 mmol / kg body weight / day and 0.8-1.0 mmol / kg body weight / day, respectively.
The actual requirements for infusion therapy are determined by the state of the water-electrolyte balance.
