Glucose is essentially sugar water. After an operation, glucose gives your body energy to a) replace lost blood b) keep you hydrated c) give your body energy it needs to heal.
Doctor put a glucose drip to the patient who has just been operated because their body is become week .
A glucose IV drip can be administered continuously to a patient who is not taking in fluids, in order to maintain adequate blood sugar levels and prevent dehydration. The rate of administration is typically determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual needs and condition. Monitoring of blood glucose levels is important to ensure safe and effective administration.
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.
Your question is a little vague. There are two kinds of glucose drip. (1) Patients that have had major surgery may not be capable of taking solid food for some time until they recover sufficiently to feed themselves. Therefore, the patient is given a 'glucose drip' via a tube which is inserted into a nostril - and goes directly into their stomach. The drip not only contains glucose - it also contains salts and minerals. It is intended as a 'short term fix' until the patient can feed themselves again. (2) Patients that have lost a lot of blood from an accident or major surgery - are given an intravenous drip which is intended to replace lost blood until the body can manufacture the lost blood itself.
Glucose drip should be given to the patient till normal blood glucose level is restored, the patient is able to do movement properly and he or she should be encouraged to eat food which give instant energy. Even after taking glucose intravenously, glucose level may go down if proper diet is not maintained

A drip can be used for multiple things:- * A site for the administration of intravenous (IV) injections or infusions. * Fluid replacement. Therefore, how long the drip will be in situ for will depend on the reason for the drip.

Cells require glucose. Glucose is delivered faster to the cells than fat or oil. In diabetes, the person may need administration of insulin along with glucose. Insulin is like a key to "unlock" the cell's door, to transport glucose into the cell. Diabetics do not produce enough insulin, so they need pills or injections of insulin.
If the drip chamber is too full, the number of drops cannot be counted. If the drip chamber is too empty, there is the risk of air entering the patient's circulatory system.
Glucose is the purest and simplest form of energy. It requires no digestion, thus uses no energy from the body. It is used when someone is severely injured or is very weak and does not have, or cant spare the energy to digest food. It is administered in a drip directly into the bloodstream via IV.
