Yes it can be given . Only nurses and pharmacist who have better business and knowledge can say yo more about it.
It is saline that has twice the concentration of salt as normal saline. Normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, so twice normal is 1.8% NaCl. Now I have a question. Is this ever given to patients?
yes
Normal saline is the only IV fluid which is compatible with our blood. Given before to flush blood from the iv catheter and after to rinse it to make the site patent.
Yes it can be given slow IV push and can be diluted with Normal Saline or D5W
How do we prepare a normal saline?
Yes this saline is a hypertonic solution but 3% saline is also not normal. There is nothing "normal" about it. There is only one "normal saline" and that is 0.9%.
NS
Normal Saline is an isotonic solution.
Normal saline
infusion doesnt get diluted or mixed and goes straight into a patients iv, where as irrigation is usually mixed with a powdered drug, such as antibotics, then given as an injection
what catecholamine should not be mixed with normal saline
normal saline composition is same as body fliud
