How would you determine the best concentration of solutes to give a patient in need of fluids before you introduced the fluids into the patient's body?
You would consider the route of administration, for sure. Is the fluid going to be introduced orally? Through an IV line? Knowing the patient's current fluid and electrolyte levels in their blood would be highly helpful. If you put hypertonic solutions in the the body orally, water will be shifted from the circulatory system into the bowel. This may help someone with fluid overload in their blood to remove some of the water from their blood. It would also help to add water to the stool in the digestive system and act as a laxative. (Osmotic saline laxatives work in this manner. If you put hypertonic solutions in an IV you will pull fluids from the interstitial space between cells as well as from the bowels to the circulatory system. This would help reduce edema. If you put hypotonic solutions in the body orally, water will shift from the digestive system to the circulatory system (and will also dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system). This method may be used to reduce electrolyte concentrations in the blood, and to hydrate the circulatory system in general. If you put hypotonic solutions in an IV you would dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system and would shift fluid to the interstitial space between cells. Isotonic is probably the best way to go if you don't want to shift fluids or change electrolyte concentrations in the circulatory / digestive system. 0.9% saline would be an example of this, and is generally the most widely-used solution for basic rehydrating someone through an IV.
What is wheat dextrin?
Dextrin solution is a solution containing dextrin and other major electrolytes for our body.It is used as oral rehydration solution eg rice dextrin.Its advantages over glucose solution is that it results is lower stool out put and hence result in retention of water.
What is the other name for Pb3o4?
Lead(II,IV) oxide. Commonly called red lead or minium.
What are the examples of hypertonic solutions with their effects?
Saline solution with a highter concentration the 0.9% are hypertonic as are soutions that contain 10% dextrose. Combinations of hypertonic solutions are 0.9% NACl with 5% Dextrose or higher. These solutions when given IV will draw fluid out of the cells or intersticial tissues and into the blood stream then ideally will be forced through the kidneys into the urine for evacuation. If a person has overhydration, or edema a hypertonic solution may be used to draw it out.
What is the Best method laboratory preparation of oxygen?
decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using a catalyst, commonly manganese(IV) oxide
What are the type of IV solutions commonly used?
IV Solutions come in various mixtures. The most common are Dextrose, Dextrose & Sodium Chloride, Sterile Water, and Potassium Chloride. With all IV solutions, they are made up of at least 99% sterile water.
What is the use of D5nss IV fluid related to surgery?
The use of D5nss IV fluid replaces electrolytes. D5nss intravenous fluid is used during surgery to replace the electrolytes lost due to the bodies stress response to the surgery.
In IV therapy maintenance solutions are used for which patients?
bipolar patient
Why do doctors order an IV of hypertonic solution?
Doctors would order an IV of Hypertonic solution to provide the patient with extra calories. It is also used in patients who need electrolytes.
What fruits are rich in electrolytes?
Gatorade
Purpose of iv therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy is used to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream for rapid absorption and distribution throughout the body. It is commonly used to treat dehydration, replace electrolytes, administer medications, and provide nutritional support to individuals who cannot take these orally. IV therapy is also used for diagnostic purposes and in emergency situations for quick delivery of life-saving treatments.
What is in an IV bag?
It depends on what the IV is being used for. Most IV's start with a large amount of sterile, pure water then different electrolytes are added to give the IV fluid its properties that make it work on the body the way the doctor needs it to. The IV might also contain dextrose, a sugar needed by the body for fuel. There might also be different medications that are added to the IV fluid so those medications can be slowly administered to the patient.
What is the Solute of intravenous fluid?
the solutions used in iv are the hypotonic , hypertonic, isotonic solutions .. :)
What is the cure for dehydration?
Normally just taking in more water. In some cases, the electrolytes (salts) in the body also need to be replaced. Where dehydration is severe, IV fluids are used.
What iv solutions can a lvn hang?
An IV, or intravenous therapy, is an infusion of liquid directly into the blood stream. Any liquid medication can be given by IV.
What IV solutions are not compatible with blood products?
no IV drugs are compatible with blood products. Only 0.9NS is compatible with and can be hung with blood.
Which can be given IV suspensions or solutions?
we cant give suspensions by intravenously, only solutions we can. because suspensions can blocks the blood vessels.
