- Used for hydration and electrolyte balance, especially in patients needing less sodium, acting as a fluid source, for medication dilution, or wound irrigation
Uses
- Hydration:
- Replaces fluid loss from vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration, providing water without excess sodium
- Electrolyte Balance:
- Helps restore normal sodium and chloride levels, crucial for fluid balance and osmotic pressure
- Medication Diluent:
- Serves as a sterile vehicle to dilute other intravenous drugs
- Wound Care:
- Can be used for wound irrigation and to moisten dressings
- Renal Assessment:
- Used to assess kidney function by providing more water than salt
- Hyperosmolar Diabetes:
- May be used when dextrose is not recommended
