The 5% Dextrose solution is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution for intravenous administration. There is no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agent or any buffer system added. 5% dextrose solutions are isotonic and have a low pH, alternative peripheral veins should be used to avoid local vascular irritation. The daily energy requirement for physiological functions and body temperature is 1,600 kcal for men and 1,300 kcal for women. Energy need is high during pregnancy, breastfeeding, growing up, malnutrition, cases, trauma, burns and unreasonable situations. The most suitable energy source is carbohydrates, each gram of them gives 4.2 cal energy. 5% Dextrose solution has 200 calories in 1 liter. The maximum consumption rate of dextrose in the body is 500-800 mg / kg / hour. When given at a rate of 800 mg / kg, it is kept by the body close to 95% and is excreted through urine, causing glycosuria, as 5% exceeds the kidney threshold. It shows the same effect in solutions given quickly. When dextrose is given at a rate of 0.5g / kg per hour in normal subjects, it does not cause glycosuria.
