[Gb47]

Hello everyone, I have a question: what is the difference between dextrose D5 and glucose G5? What are the different effects, and are the duration of swelling the same?

G5 and D5 are the same thing. Pay attention to what else is in the fluid. D/G5 in sterile water will not grow much. D/G5 in normal saline will have more swell for a few hours after infusion.

D/S with either fluid will sting less than normal saline as you're infusing it.
