Sterofundin G-5 is injected into the peripheral and central veins.
Recommended doses
The dose of the drug depends on the concentration of glucose in the blood, the patient's need for fluids and electrolytes.
Adults and children from 15 years of age
The maximum daily dose is 40 ml / kg of body weight, which corresponds to 2.0 g of glucose / kg of body weight, 5.6 mmol of sodium / kg of body weight and 0.16 mmol of potassium / kg of body weight.
The maximum rate of administration is 5 ml / kg body weight / hour, which corresponds to 0.25 g glucose / kg body weight / hour, 0.7 mmol sodium / kg body weight / hour and 20 μmol potassium / kg body weight / hour.
For patients with a body weight of 70 kg, the maximum rate of administration is 350 ml / h or 120 drops / min. This corresponds to 17.5 g of glucose / hour, 49 mmol of sodium / hour and 1.4 mmol of potassium / hour.
Children under 15 years
Daily doses for children should be individually selected in accordance with the state of water-electrolyte balance and needs.
When choosing doses for children under 15, the following limitations on the maximum daily volume of injected liquid and glucose, as well as the maximum rate of glucose administration, should be taken into account.
The maximum daily volume of injected liquid:
- Children in 1 day of life 50-70 ml / kg of body weight;
- children in the 2nd day of life 70-90 ml / kg body weight;
- children in the 3rd day of life 80-100 ml / kg body weight;
- children in the 4th day of life 100-120 ml / kg body weight;
- children from 5 days of life 100-150 ml / kg body weight;
- children from the first year of life 100-140 ml / kg of body weight;
- children from the second year of life 80-120 ml / kg body weight;
- Children from 3 years of age to 5 years of age, including 80-100 ml / kg of body weight;
- Children from 6 years to 10 years of age, including 60-80 ml / kg of body weight;
- for children from 11 years to 14 years of age, 50 to 70 ml / kg of body weight.
Maximum Daily Glucose Dose
- children from 1 year to 2 years of age, 12-15 g glucose / kg body weight:
- children from 3 years to 5 years, inclusive 12 g glucose / kg body weight;
- children from 6 years to 10 years, inclusive 10 g glucose / kg body weight;
- children from 11 years to 14 years of age, including 8 g of glucose / kg of body weight.
The maximum rate of glucose administration
- children from 1 year to 2 years of age, including 8-10 mg glucose / kg body weight / min;
- children from 3 years to 5 years inclusive 8-10 mg glucose / kg body weight / min;
- children from 6 years to 10 years inclusive 8-10 mg glucose / kg body weight / min;
- children from 11 years to 14 years of age, including 5-6 mg glucose / kg body weight / min.
Duration of application
The solution can be used for several days. The 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 administration of such doses dextrose 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 operations or trauma, hypoxic stress or organ failure, the daily dose should be reduced to 200-300 g, which corresponds to 3 g / kg body weight / day. The selection of individual doses includes mandatory laboratory monitoring.
The following adult dose limits should be strictly observed: 0.25 g of dextrose / kg of body weight / hour and up to 6 g / kg of body weight / day. The administration of solutions containing carbohydrates, regardless of concentration, should always be accompanied by a control of the concentration of glucose in the blood both during surgery and in the 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
A dose of 30 ml of solution / kg of body weight / 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.
