The drug is intended only for intravenous administration by prolonged dropping infusion for at least one hour.
If necessary, the dose should be reduced on the second and subsequent days.
The dose is set depending on the severity of the existing acidosis. The method of choice is targeted buffer therapy under the control of the acid-alkaline state of the blood. Accordingly, the amount of Trometamol H needed for the infusion is proportional to the calculated negative excess of the base (BE) and the mass of the body and, unless prescribed otherwise, is:
1 ml of Trometamol H = BE (mM / l) x kg body weight x 2
(coefficient 2 was obtained as a result of a decrease in the buffer capacity after addition of 100 mM acetate / l).
Blind Buffering
If the technical conditions for determining the parameters of the acid-base state of the blood are absent, then in the presence of clinical indications, one can perform blind buffering with Trometamol N.
Unless otherwise prescribed, the average adult dose is 5-10 ml of Trometamol N / kg body weight / h, corresponding to 500 ml / h. The daily dose is 1000 (-2000) ml.
The daily dose for children from 1 year is 10-20 ml of Trometamol N / kg of body weight.
The maximum dose is 1.5 g / kg / day.
When using high doses, it is recommended (to avoid a decrease in the concentration of electrolytes in the blood) to add NaCl at the rate of 1.75 g and KC1 at a rate of 0.372 g per liter of 3.66% solution.
If there is a danger of developing hypoglycemia, it is recommended to simultaneously inject 5-10% dextrose solution with insulin (at the rate of 1 unit of insulin per 4 g of dry dextrose).
