Dextrose Infusion Titrations With Glucose Concentrations^a

Time (h)	Dextrose concentration	Dextrose infusion rate (mL/h)	Serum glucose (mg/dL)b
0	D5W	125	95
5.5	D10W	200	77
22.5	D20W	200	70
48.25	D20W	125	103
50.25	Off		79
70	D20W	200	89
85	Off		135

^aD5W, dextrose 5% in water; D10W, dextrose 10% in water; D20W, dextrose 20% in water.

^bSI conversion factor: To convert glucose values to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555.
