I believe it's Lactated Ringers with the packed RBC's connected to the line by a Y connector.
One example of a hypo-tonic solution used in intravenous infusion is 0.45% saline, also known as half-normal saline. This solution has a lower concentration of salt compared to the normal concentration in the body, making it hypo-tonic.
Normal saline is usually used when the reason of unconsciousness is unknown. The use of fluids is limited to normal saline and ringers lactate, or lactated ringers is used for fluid replacement in the case of blood loss as it acts as a volume replacement, keeping the blood pressure up.
which common isotonic solution used in fluid therapy Isotonic fluids used in IVF therapy include: 0.9 Normal Saline; Lactated Ringers; and D5W

In order to be non-toxic it must be isotonic with blood, so we have the salines, normal saline (.9%), ringers lactate, ... and the sugars: in water, in quarter normal, in half normal plus the specials (amino acids to try and prevent starvation)
Plain Lactated Ringers (PLR) - Blue Plain Normal Saline Solution (PNSS) - Green D5 Normal Saline Solution (D5NSS) - Yellow D5 0.3 Sodium Chloride (D5 0.3 NaCl) - Light Blue D5 Lactated Ringers (D5LR) - Pink Balanced Multiple Maintenace Solution with 5% dextrose (D5IMB) - Purple Dextrose 5% Water (D5W)- Red D5 Normosol-R (D5NR) - Yellow Green D5 Normosol-M (D5NM) - Orange
A normal solution is a solution in which 1 gram of solute is dissolved in 1 liter of water
IV just stands for IntraVenous, so almost any fluid can be given that way, but the standard solution that is given is saline to which you can add whatever additive you need. Typical saline solution just contains sterile water and sodium chloride (salt). The concentration of the salt can vary depending on what it is needed for. Two of the more common concentrations are 0.9% (normal saline) which is isotonic to blood, and 0.45% (also called 1/2 normal saline), which is hypotonic to blood. Another common additive to saline is dextrose, which like saline comes in carrying concentrations. There are also some specialty IV solutions such as Ringers Lactate and Acitated Ringers, that are used in certain circumstances.
What is the difference between normal saline solution and ringer's lactate solution?
A decinormal solution is a solution that has a concentration of 1/10th (0.1) of a normal solution. It is commonly used in analytical chemistry for titrations and dilutions.
A fluid bolus is the rapid administration of IV fluid (ex. normal saline or lactated ringers) given to increase intravascular volume.
