Guest danielirra Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Hi I would like to ask you about your practice in the preparation of a IV infusion in a preterm baby who need dextrose 12 % , do you prepare it with sterile water or use dextrose 10 % + dextrose 25 %- Is there any difference? sorry for my language thanks in advance Edited June 4, 2010 by danielirra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manojpotdar Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We can prepare by both the ways. There is no difference except for cost factors I guess. I posted formulas for this in Forum: education, organisation and evaluation. Manoj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpsanghvi Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We have a very simple way of doing it. No calculations or formulas required The basic strengths of Dextrose available in India are 5%, 10% and 25%. We add EQUAL quantities of 5% + 10% to get a strength of 7.5% Dextrose 25% + Distilled water to get a strength of 12.5 % Dextrose 5% + 25% to get a strength of 15 % Dextrose 10% + 25% to get a strenght of 17.5% Dextrose Its only for 20% that we use 25% Dextose and Distilled water in a ratio of 4:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
