Yeah defiantly is in grams/kg protocol is as follows Dextrose 10% 0.5g/kg IV bolous (for neonates) Dextrose 25% 0.5g/kg IV bolous (if estimated body weight is less then 50kg) Dextrose 50% 0.5g/kg IV bolous ( if estimated body weight is greater then 50kg)

@Linuss with that configuration of 1ml D50 and 4ml normal saline do you know what the concentration at hand would be, how many grams per ml?

@medic Tim thank you, I reviewed the protocol and it is 0.5 grams/kg. which makes a lot more sense if the pt was to receive 1g in that concentration it would be 10ml

Great thanks Our protocols say d10 is 0.5mg/kg if the pt is 2kg (2x0.5=1mg), with the concentration of 2g/20ml in order to give 1 mg you have to change the concentration to 2000mg/2ml doing the math out 2000/1x20 would be 0.01 ml in order for the pt to get the 1mg. Does that seem correct?

Hello, Does any one know if or how you can make D10 from D25 or D50. D10 appears in my protocols for neonatal coma of unknown etiology/seizure/diabetic emergencies but my department doesn't carry it on the truck. Thanks.
