Patients on NBM may need IV phosphate when low PO4. This is an adivce from a local pharmacy of the hosptal where I work.
Preparation is 500ml bottle(100mmol/lit)
Take 90 ml from it (bin the remaining)
Infusion rate 7.5 ml/hour for 12 hours
check BP and HR 30 min after starting of infusion
check K, Mg, Ca 30 min after completion of infusion
Check PO4 level 1 day after infusion
