[Sorbitol and xylitol in post-operative infusion therapy (author's transl)]. 1979

A Grünert, and R Dölp, and F W Ahnefeld

The effect of a 24-hour continuous infusion of sorbitol in the recommended maximum dosage of 0.25 g . kg-1 . h-1 or of xylitol in the recommended maximum dosage of 0.125 g . kg-1 . h-1 on metabolic parameters was investigated in seven healthy adult men. The results demonstrate the continued applicability for longer than the recommended time as well as the acceptability of continuous infusion of polyols used clinically with combined solutions.
