There are two main catagories of IV fluids, crystalliods and colloids. Each type has its own function. Crystalloids have small parts in them that are absorbed through the vascular bed and into the surounding tissue. Therfore crystalloids are commonly used for rehydration, and electrolyte replacement. Some crystalloids commonly used are: 0.9% saline, Lactated Ringers, and D5W (dextrose).
Colloids have large particles in them so they are not as easilly absorbed into the vascular bed. Because of this property colloids are used to replace lost blood, maintain healthy blood pressure, and volume expansion. Some common colloids are:

How many Ounces in IV fluid bag?
An IV fluid bag typically contains 1000 milliliters (mL) of fluid. One milliliter of water weighs approximately 1 gram, which is equivalent to 0.03527396 ounces. Therefore, a 1000 mL IV fluid bag would contain approximately 35.27 ounces of fluid.
What is the ratio of the weight of dextrose to the volume of iv fluid in d5w?
The ratio of dextrose to volume in D5W is 5 grams of dextrose in every 100 milliliters of IV fluid. This means the weight of dextrose is 5% of the volume of IV fluid in a D5W solution.

How do you slow push fluid in IV?
To slow push fluid in an IV, you can adjust the flow rate using the roller clamp on the IV tubing or the infusion pump settings, if available. Ensure the clamp is partially closed to decrease the flow rate while still allowing fluid to flow. Monitor the patient for any signs of discomfort or adverse reactions, and ensure that the IV site remains patent. Always follow your facility's protocols and guidelines for IV fluid administration.

The expiration date of IV fluid in a warmer is 14 days. You can buy AMPIRmini (fluid warmers) on the website TAHAT-AKSI.
Why can you have Edema after an IV?
You give IV fluid to the patient. Generally there are two types of fluids. IV normal saline or Ringer's lactate and 5 % dextrose. All of them have same osmotic pressure as the body fluid has got. But the dextrose is rapidly used by body to give you plane water. So the normal saline and Ringer's lactate solution is distributed across the extracellular compartment. Dextrose, that means plane water is distributed across the whole body fluid. Normal adult has got 14 liters of extracellular fluid and 28 liters of fluid inside the cells. You have the fluid in the body till kidneys excrete the same. Respective fluid spreads across the respective cellular compartment. It gives you edema.
