What does Bolus 500cc ns mean in medical terminology?
"NS" stands for normal saline, which is an IV fluid solution consisting of water with 0.9% sodium chloride dissolved in it. 500 cc means 500 milliliters, or half a liter. A bolus means that it should be given all at once, as fast as the patient's IV will tolerate. For an IV drip like this, that is typically at a rate of 1000 ml/hr. So this order is for a half liter of normal saline IV fluid to be administered quickly over a half hour.

What does mean the term bolus?
Bolus chase - is a set amount of medicine that is immediately and completely delivered. Unlike an I.V. drip which is administered over a set period of time. This is what I found when I looked it up on the Internet. A single dose of drug usually injected into a blood vessel over a short period of time. Also called bolus infusion. To clarify a little about what was mentioned before, bolusing something just means to give it to the patient quickly. The most common bolus is IV fluids--we will often start by giving someone a liter of fluid through their IV as fast as it will go in (usually an hour) and then will slow the rate down to a much lower rate (usually between 75-150 mL per hour). Some medications can be given as a bolus (that is, given all at once) instead of having to run them through an IV over a longer period of time. A little more...From the Greek, the word "bolus" refers to a lump or rough-shaped ball. This word has acquired a special meaning in the medical and veterinary world, as stated above. While it can refer to a glob of food, it rarely does anymore.
