14g of immunoglobulin infusion continuously for 3 to 4 hours in just 1 day for 14 months baby paralysed by gbs is it correct ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: In a review of the published literature assessing the value of IVIG vs and or after plasma exchange for GBS the conclusion was that the administration of IVIG God hasten recovery and was safe , the doses used varied but 0.5 grams /kg per day for five days. Some use doses up to 1g/kg/day
