Question 2 of 15

2. Question
What should a technician be aware of when administering dextrose IV to patients at high concentrations, such as 7.5% dextrose infusions?
- To administer higher concentrations of dextrose as a CRI, the technician should instead increase the fluid rate to accommodate the higher concentration.
- At higher concentrations of dextrose, the plastic in peripheral catheters can react with the dextrose and cause necrosis in the vein from the reaction. Give higher concentrations instead as a subcutaneous bolus.
- A CRI of dextrose through peripheral catheters of more than 5% can cause phlebitis, or inflammation and injury to the vein. A type of central line such as a triple lumen jugular catheter or sampling catheter should be placed to administer higher concentrations of CRI dextrose.
- Only feline patients can receive CRIs of dextrose higher than 5%. Talk to your doctor if your patient is a dog.
