An intravenous sugar solution is a solution with a sugar (usually glucose, as known as dextrose, with water as the solvent) used for intravenous therapy, where it may function both as a means of maintaining tissue hydration and a means of parenteral nutrition. ==Types== Types of glucose/dextrose include: *D5W (5% dextrose in water), which consists of 278 mmol/L dextrose *D5NS (5% dextrose in normal saline), which, in addition, contains normal saline (0.90% w/v of NaCl). * *D5 1/2NS 5% dextrose in half amount of normal saline (0.45% w/v of NaCl).〔(eMedicine > Hypernatremia: Treatment & Medication ) By Ivo Lukitsch and Trung Q Pham. Updated: Apr 19, 2010〕 The percentage is a mass percentage, so a 5% glucose/dextrose solution contains 50 g/L of glucose/dextrose (Quite simply, 5% dextrose means the solution contains 5g/100ml of solution). Glucose provides energy 4 kcal/gram, so a 5% glucose solution provides 0.2 kcal/ml. If prepared from ''dextrose monohydrate'', which provides 3.4 kcal/gram, a 5% solution provides 0.17 kcal/ml.〔(Calculating Parenteral Feedings ) D.
