What is the maximum number of doses of Glucagon that can be administered to a patient weighing less than 25kg?

The maximum number of doses of Glucagon that can be administered to a patient weighing less than 25 kg is two. This guideline aligns with protocols that ensure safety and efficacy in treatment.

Glucagon is typically administered in emergency situations, such as severe hypoglycemia, where rapid increase of blood glucose levels is necessary. In cases involving pediatric patients, dosing is carefully regulated, taking into account their lower body weight and unique physiological responses.

Administering two doses allows for adequate response time for Glucagon to take effect while providing the clinician with the option to repeat dosing if the desired response to the initial dose is not achieved. Administering fewer than two doses may not adequately address the patient's needs, while exceeding two doses could lead to unnecessary complications or increased risks.

In summary, the protocol for administering Glucagon emphasizes safety and effective management of hypoglycemia, making two doses the maximum appropriate response for patients under 25 kg.
