Intravenous solutions are intended to be given through the veins. Very large quantity of solution can be given via this route. It is usually a isotonic solution. You have 'normal' or isotonic solution of sodium chloride. It is called as NS. It contains 0.9 % sodium chloride. Then you have 5 % dextrose solution called as 5D and combination of the two above. It's called as DNS. Then you have one solution called as Ringer's lactate. It's like physiological fluid in the blood. All these solutions contain electrolytes and / or dextrose and pure water. There are many other specially designed intravenous solutions.

How supplied of plain normal saline solution?
Typically in an IV (intravenous) drip.
What is intravenous rehydration?
Intravenous (IV) rehydration is a treatment for fluid loss in which a sterile water solution containing small amounts of salt or sugar is injected into the patient's bloodstream.
An intravenous solution must do what to a persons red blood cells to prevent injury to the cell?
An intravenous solution must be isotonic to prevent injury to red blood cells. This means that the solution has the same concentration of solutes as blood and will not cause the cells to shrink or swell due to osmotic imbalances.
What is the of the characteristics of an intravenous solution?
An intravenous solution should be sterile, isotonic, and pyrogen-free to ensure it is safe and compatible with the body's internal environment. It should also be free from particulate matter and properly labeled with the correct concentration and expiration date for administration.
What is the name of a hypo-tonic solution used in intravenous infusion?
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.
Solvent or solute of intravenous fluid?
The solvent in intravenous fluids is typically water, which serves as the main component of the solution. The solutes in intravenous fluids can include electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, as well as sugars and other substances to help maintain proper hydration and electrolyte balance in the body.
Is intravenous liquid a compound?
Intravenous liquid is a solution composed of water and dissolved electrolytes, sugars, and other nutrients. While water is a compound (H2O), the dissolved substances in intravenous liquid can be considered compounds on their own.
Use of Sodium chloride inj 0.9 percent?
D5 0,3 NaCl is recommended to add to the body water, sucrose and ions as Na+ and Cl-.
Why are intravenous drugs added to the blood stream added in a solution that has the same solute concentration as blood plasma?
because you want them to be
