CAUTIONS, FURTHER INFORMATIONSodium chloride 0. 18 %
and glucose 4 % intravenous infusionfluid should not be
used forfluid replacement in children aged 16 years or less
because of the risk of hyponatraemia; availability of this
infusion should be restricted to high dependency and
intensive care units, and specialist wards, such as renal,
liver, and cardiac units. Local guidelines on intravenous
fluids should be consulted.

lMONITORING REQUIREMENTS
▶Maintenancefluid should accurately reflect daily
requirements and close monitoring is required to avoid
fluid and electrolyte imbalance.
▶During parenteral hydration,fluids and electrolytes should
be monitored closely and any disturbance corrected by
slow infusion of an appropriate solution.lMEDICINAL FORMS
There can be variation in the licensing of different medicines
containing the same drug. Forms available from special-order
manufacturers include: solution for infusion

lINDICATIONS AND DOSE
Establish presence of gestational diabetes
▶BY MOUTH
▶Child:Test dose 75 g, anhydrous glucose to be given to
the fasting patient and blood-glucose concentrations
measured at intervals, to be given with 200 – 300 mL
fluid
Oral glucose tolerance test
▶BY MOUTH
▶Child:Test dose 1. 75 g/kg (max. per dose 75 g),
anhydrous glucose to be given to the fasting patient
and blood-glucose concentrations measured at
intervals. To be given with 200 – 300 mLfluid
Neonatal hypoglycaemia
▶BY INTRAVENOUS INFUSION
▶Neonate: 500 mg/kg/hour, to be administered as Glucose
10 % intravenous infusion, an initial dose of 250 mg/kg
over 5 minutes may be required if hypoglycaemia is
severe enough to cause loss of consciousness or
seizures.Hypoglycaemia
▶BY INTRAVENOUS INFUSION
▶Child: 500 mg/kg, to be administered as Glucose 10 %
intravenous infusion into a large vein through a large-
gauge needle; care is required since this concentration
is irritant especially if extravasation occurs
