D5NS @ 100cc/hr X 24 hrs/day = 2400 cc or 2.4 liters daily. Depending on the source, carbohydrates (dextrose in the IV) yield 4 kcal/gram. D5NS is 5% dextrose (carb) so that in each liter (1000 cc) of fluid the patient receives 50 grams of dextrose (0.05 X 1000 = 50) Then, 50 grams dextrose X 2.4 liters/day = 120 grams of dextrose/day.If dextrose provides 4 kcal/gram, 120 grams of dextrose/day would be equivalent to 480 kcal (120 grams X 4 kcal/gram)
