Stero-fundin isotonic is injected into the peripheral and central veins.
The dose depends on the age, body weight, clinical and biological condition of the patient and concomitant therapy.
Recommended doses
- elderly, adults and children from 11 years from 500 ml to 3 l / day, which corresponds to 1-6 mmol sodium / kg body weight / day and 0.03-0.17 mmol potassium / kg body weight / day;
- children under 11 years from 20 ml to 100 ml / kg body weight / day, corresponding to 3-14 mmol sodium / kg body weight / day and 0.08-0.40 potassium / kg body weight / day.
The rate of administration
The maximum rate of administration is determined by the patient's needs in fluid and electrolytes, body weight, clinical condition and biological status of the patient.
For children, the rate of administration is on average 5 ml / kg body weight / hour, but it depends on age:
- for children under 1 year 6-8 ml / kg body weight / hour;
- for children from 1 year to 2 years 4-6 ml / kg body weight / h;
- for children from 2 to 11 years 2-4 ml / kg body weight / h.
Duration of application
Stero-fundin isotonic can be administered as long as is required to restore the water-electrolyte balance.
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 organism 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.
