Dextrose for Cardiac arrest
Pediatric weight-based dosing has a median of 500 mg/kg across 6 published protocols, with the middle half between 500 and 500.
1,335 rows are under review across the census and excluded from every number on this page. How that works.
Pediatric, weight-basedmg/kg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 500 | 500 | 500 | 500 |
Values in mg/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a drug five times still gets one vote.
Routes
- IV 50%
- IV/IO 50%
