D5w and 0.9 ns are both isotonic solutions (osmolarity is similar to body fluids). When combined however, the solution becomes hypertonic (osmolarity is greater than body fluids). When administered iv, d5w .9 ns pulls fluid from cells and interstitial space into blood vessels.

What will crystallize when mixed in D5W?
Dilantin
Is d5w the same as 5 percent dextrose?
no
What is an isotonic environment?
which common isotonic solution used in fluid therapy Isotonic fluids used in IVF therapy include: 0.9 Normal Saline; Lactated Ringers; and D5W
Can you give example of three IV solution?
1. D5W=Dextrose 5% in water 2. Normal saline=0.9% NaCl 3. 1/2 Normal saline=0.45% NaCl
Is D5W Isotonic or Hypertonic?
Normal Saline Solution in 5% Dextrose or D5NSS is a hypertonic solution. It can be used for the temporary treatment of shock if plasma expanders are not available. However, do not administer this IV for clients with cardiac or renal conditions.
Why is isotonic dextrose solution injected to patients suffering from insulin shock?
One of the problems with "insulin shock"is the patients blood glucose is too low. By using D5W (Not really isotonic), you can slowly infuse dextrose to raise the blood sugar and control it so it doesn't rebound too high.
How many calories are in 1000 ml of d5w?
there are 170 calories in 1L D5W
Will dilantin crysalize with d5w?
no
What medication will cystylize with d5w?
dilantin
Can Valium IV crystallize with D5W?
no
Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
What is d5w ph level?
c.a. 5.0
