'Drip of Glucose' can be referred either to Intravenous infusion of Dextrose (which is a biologically active form of Glucose) or to any Intravenous Fluid.
Dextrose (along with a few substances) is the sole source of energy to the brain. IV Dextrose need to be given in diseases where the patient is unable to maintain a blood glucose level essential to sustain vital organ function. The rate of infusion is determined by 'hit and trial' method gradually hiking the rate till normal blood levels could e maintained.
IV Fluids are given in conditions where a patient is unable to accept oral feeds/ is not allowed orally due to the disease process so as to provide him the necessary fluids, electrolytes and energy (glucose) to sustain life. IV Fluids are also needed to rehydrate a dehydrated patient.

But if a person needs IV nutrition then only glucose can supply the calories.
You also need amino acids and vitamines and minerals. And at least 3 liters of water per day.

∙ 14y agoMostly when a person is severely dehydrated. One might think that the drips would be pure water in this case, but if pure water were used, the blood would be too diluted. So a solution of glucose and electrolytes is used instead. it is given when a person is not able to eat or is not allowed to eat.

How does drip of glocose help patient to recover?
glucose in the body is maintained at a constant level. When there is a depletion in this level, a person can go unconscìous because of inadequate glucose supply to the brain. Administration of glucose increase glucose supply to the brain and recover such patients.

How does glucose help to recover the patient explain with diagram?
Glucose can help patient recover from hypoglycemia or being hypoglycemic. Glucose used to produce energy. Glucose can help patients recover, particularly those with diabetes, as it is a simple sugar and one of the most basic carbohydrates. Giving patients glucose will allow sugar and carbohydrate levels to return to normal in a fast and effective manner there by saving patient’s life . Glucose is widely used in all organisms to produce energy and to carry out glycolysis. All parts of the body (muscles, brain, heart, and liver) need energy to work. This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, glucose can be used immediately for energy or stored in our bodies, to be used later. However, our bodies need insulin in order to use or store glucose for energy. Without insulin, glucose stays in the bloodstream, keeping blood sugar levels high.
