Treatment should include intravenous injection of 20 ml glucose in normal saline solution, four or five times a day. Mushrooms and Toadstools - Dr. John Ramsbottom, Collins NewNaturalist Series, Ch 5, Poisonous and Edible Fungi: 1 Omitted for one reason there is no evidence to support claims for its efficacy. Any one on ITU would almost certainly receive glucose as a routine infusion By the way you don't need ( indeed there are reasons not to) mix glucose with saline. Normal Saline solution is 0.9%. ie 9 grammes of sodium choride in 1 litre of water. This is a standard drip mix. Glucose is also used routinely in drips at 5% concentration. You can give 2 litres of glucose 5% per day with 1 litre of saline 0.9% as a routine in many situations. To mean anything the 20ml of glucose would need to be at a defined concentration, Hospitals routinely use 5% 10% 20% and 50% strenghts of glucose. 500mL of 50% per day gives 250g of carohydrate which is not too far from what many take each day.
