  2. Intravenous sugar solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_sugar_solution

    D5LR (5% dextrose in lactated Ringer solution) D50 – 50% dextrose in water; The percentage is a mass concentration, so a 5% glucose/dextrose solution contains 50 g/L of glucose/dextrose (5 g per 100 ml). This usage is imprecise but widely used, as discussed at Mass concentration (chemistry) § Usage in biology. Glucose provides energy 4 kcal ...

  7. Dextrose equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dextrose_equivalent

    Glucose (dextrose) has a molecular mass of 180, while water has a molecular mass of 18. For each 2 glucose monomers binding, a water molecule is removed. Therefore, the molecular mass of a glucose polymer can be calculated by using the formula (180*n - 18*(n-1)) with n the DP (degree of polymerisation) of the glucose polymer.

    Intravenous sugar solutions, such as those containing glucose (also called dextrose), have the advantage of providing some energy, and may thereby provide the entire or part of the energy component of parenteral nutrition. Types of glucose/dextrose include: D5W (5% dextrose in water), which consists of 278 mmol/L dextrose
