Dextrose (Injection, Solution)
|
dailymed-instance:dosage |
The volume of bolus injection (1 to 10 mL) varies depending
on patient condition and requirements to produce an adequate thermodilution
cardiac output curve. Usually the smallest volume necessary to produce an
adequate curve is used so as to limit fluid dosage. As
reported in the literature, the dosage and constant infusion rate of intravenous
dextrose must be selected with caution in pediatric patients, particularly
neonates and low birth weight infants, because of the increased risk of hyperglycemia/hypoglycemia. When
cardiac output measurement is desired, the vial and injector are connected
as shown under HOW SUPPLIED. Prime the injector. The injector is connected
securely to the side port of a 3-way stopcock attached to the RA proximal
port of a thermodilution catheter using the male luer lock. The hand should
be used to cradle the stopcock and Thermoject Syringe so a smooth, quick injection
can be made. CAUTION: Handle
vial as little as possible to prevent change in solution temperature. TO
ADD SUBSEQUENT VIALS: Properly position the 3-way stopcock and disconnect
the unit. Remove the empty vial by rotating counterclockwise. Attach replacement
vial as before, i.e., rotate vial clockwise three times. Prime the injector
and reconnect the unit to the stopcock. The final vial
used in a series of injections should be left in the injector so the system
remains closed in case subsequent cardiac output measurements are made.

dailymed-instance:descripti... |
5% Dextrose Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution
of dextrose in water for injection. It is administered via a thermodilution
catheter for measuring cardiac output. Each mL contains dextrose, hydrous
50 mg. Osmolar concentration is 0.253 mOsmol/mL (calc). pH is 5.6 (3.5 to
6.5). The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or addedbuffer and is intended for use only as a single-dose thermodilution agent.
When smaller amounts are required the unused portion should be discarded. Used
as directed, the Thermoject Unit of Use System provides for aseptic delivery
of cardiac output injectate. The solution may be used iced or at room temperature
for injection of measured boluses from 1 to 10 mL as required. 5%
Dextrose Injection, USP in the Thermoject System for cardiac output monitoring
may be classified as a thermodilution diagnostic aid. Dextrose,
USP is chemically designated D-glucose, monohydrate (CHO���HO), a hexose sugar freely soluble in water. It has the following
structural formula: The semi-rigid vial is fabricated
from a specially formulated polyolefin. It is a copolymer of ethylene and
propylene. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests in animals
according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. The container
requires no vapor barrier to maintain the proper drug concentration.

dailymed-instance:clinicalP... |
Used as a thermodilution agent for measuring cardiac output,
5% Dextrose Injection, USP usually involves volumes too small to affect carbohydrate
or water balance except possibly in newborn or very small infants. Dextrose
injected parenterally undergoes eventual absorption and oxidation to carbon
dioxide and water.

This solution is not intended and should not be used for
injection by the usual parenteral routes of administration, including infusion
via intravenous administration sets.

Do not use unless the solution is clear and container undamaged.
Discard unused portion. Use only for Thermodilution as directed. The solution
should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior
to use.<br/>Pregnancy Category C.: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with
dextrose. It is also not known whether dextrose can cause fetal harm whenadministered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Dextrose
should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.<br/>Pediatric Use:: The safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population
are based on the similarity of the clinical conditions of the pediatric and
adult populations. In neonates or very small infants the volume of fluid may
affect fluid and electrolyte balance. Frequent monitoring
of serum glucose concentrations is required when dextrose is prescribed to
pediatric patients, particularly neonates and low birth weight infants. In
very low birth weight infants, excessive or rapid administration of dextrose
injection may result in increased serum osmolality and possible intracerebral
hemorrhage.

In a small volume container, the solution is unlikely to
pose a threat of solute or fluid overload except possibly in newborn or very
small infants.
