Carbohydrate

Indications
Oral
Oral glucose tolerance test
Adult: Take fasting plasma glucose, then admin 75 g of oral anhydrous glucose. A second plasma glucose level is taken 2 hr after oral glucose load.
Oral
Hypoglycaemia
Adult: Give 15-20 g glucose, response to glucose treatment should be apparent in 10-20 min. Test plasma glucose in 60 min time as further treatment may be needed.
Intravenous
Fluid depletion
Adult: Glucose 5% solution administered via the peripheral vein.
Intravenous
Carbohydrate depletion
Adult: Glucose >5% solution, usually admin via a central vein.
Intravenous
Severe hypoglycaemia
Adult: Glucose 50% solution admin via the central vein.
Contraindications
Use of hyperosmotic solutions in patients with anuria, intracranial or intraspinal haemorrhage; in delirium tremens where there is dehydration. Use after acute ischaemic attacks.
Warnings / Precautions
Do not administer glucose solutions through the same infusion equipment as whole blood as haemolysis and clumping may occur. Monitor blood-glucose concentrations, as well as fluid and electrolyte balance. Pregnancy.
Adverse Reactions
Hyperosmotic glucose IV solutions: Local pain, vein irritation, thrombophloebitis, tissue necrosis. Prolonged admin or rapid infusion of large volumes of glucose solutions: Oedema or water intoxication (iso-osmotic solutions); dehydration (hyperosmotic solutions).
Mechanism of Actions
Glucose is the end product of carbohydrate metabolism and is the chief source of energy for all cellular activities.
Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the GI tract.
Metabolism: Metabolised via pyruvic or lactic acid to CO2 and water with the release of energy.
