The maximum glucose infusion rate should not exceed 1.2 g/kg per hour. This rate should be achieved by increasing the infusion in a stepwise manner.
In other words, if someone weighs 70 kg, the maximum glucose infusion rate would be:
-
- 2 g/kg/hour * 70 kg = 84 g/hour
This means, for a 70 kg individual, you should not infuse more than 84 grams of glucose in one hour. Also, it's crucial to increase the infusion rate gradually.
