if a patient is found to have a low blood sugar, dextrose 50% is given to increase the blood sugar. a CBG (cellular blood glucose) is checked in most/all cardiac arrests to rule out hypoglycemia ( low blood sugar). dextrose 50% is also given to patients who are presenting with a low blood sugar and altered mental status.

What are veterinary crash carts made from?

A "crash cart" can consist of many different things, but primarily they are plastic. They are not a particular item, but rather a collection of materials and drugs commonly used in an emergency situation and stored in a box (often a tool box or organizer box) so that they can be easily moved to where they are needed in a veterinary facility. Each practice typically puts together it's own "crash cart" or "crash box" based upon their particular needs.
