Uses

  • Fluid and electrolyte replenishment: 
    • The 0.9% concentration (also known as normal saline) is isotonic to body fluids, making it ideal for replacing lost fluids and sodium
  • Hydration therapy: 
    • It is used to prevent or treat dehydration
  • Post-operative care: 
    • Commonly administered to maintain fluid balance and support blood pressure after surgery
  • Emergency medical care: 
    • Vital for rapid fluid resuscitation in emergency situations like trauma or shock
  • Medication dilution: 
    • Serves as a vehicle for the intravenous administration of compatible medications
  • Hemodialysis priming: 
    • Can be used as a priming solution for hemodialysis procedures
  • Blood transfusions: 
    • Can be used to initiate and terminate blood transfusions without damaging red blood cells

Features

  • Isotonic solution: 
    • With an osmolarity of approximately 308 mOsmol/L, it is isotonic with the body's natural osmolarity, ensuring effective and safe fluid replacement
  • Safe packaging (EXCEL Plus): 
    • The 1000mL IV bag is not made with PVC, DEHP, or natural rubber latex
    • This minimizes the risk of adverse patient reactions and drug sorption, which can occur with PVC containers
  • Sterile and nonpyrogenic: 
    • The solution is free of bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents, making it safe for intravenous infusion
  • Environmentally responsible:
    •  The EXCEL Plus container is designed to reduce environmental impact

Side effects

  • While generally safe, adverse reactions are possible and can be related to the solution itself or the administration technique
    • Fluid overload: 
      • Over-infusion can lead to overhydration, which may result in pulmonary congestion, peripheral edema (swelling), or weight gain
    • Electrolyte imbalances:
      • Hypernatremia (high sodium): 
        • Can cause swelling, high blood pressure, and, in severe cases, seizures or weakness
      • Hyponatremia (low sodium): 
        • Can lead to confusion, seizures, or swelling
      • Hyperchloremia (high chloride): 
        • Large amounts of chloride ions can cause an acidifying effect
      • Injection site reactions: 
        • Possible reactions include infection, venous thrombosis (blood clots), or phlebitis (vein inflammation)
      • Extravasation: 
        • Accidental leaking of the solution into surrounding tissue can cause irritation or damage
