blood cultures have no growth, the need for further empiric antibiotic treatment must be reassessed to determine need. Catheter salvage may be considered on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as whether the patient has other available vascular

Determination of Glucose Infusion Rate Based on Desired Dextrose Intake Formula Glucose infusion rate (GIR; mg/kg/min) = (g of dextrose per day x 1,000) ÷ (patient weight [kg] x min/d) Example GIR for a 70-kg patient with a desired dextrose intake
