- Used as a source of water and electrolytes for fluid and electrolyte replenishment
- Also has an alkalinizing effect, helping to correct or prevent metabolic acidosis
Uses:
- Source of water and electrolytes:
- Used to restore fluid balance and replenish electrolytes in patients with conditions like dehydration, hypovolemia (low blood volume), or after surgery
- Alkalinizing Agent:
- The acetate and gluconate ions are metabolized to bicarbonate, which helps to correct or prevent metabolic acidosis
- Compatible with Blood: It can be administered before, during, or after blood transfusions
Features:
- Isotonic solution:
- It has a similar concentration of dissolved particles as human blood, helping to prevent osmotic imbalances
- Balanced Electrolyte Composition:
- Contains sodium chloride, sodium gluconate, sodium acetate trihydrate, potassium chloride, and magnesium chloride in concentrations similar to human plasma
- pH 7.4:
- This pH is close to the physiological pH of human blood
- Nonpyrogenic
- Sterile
