Often, the easiest way to get meds, liquids or nutrition into an unconscious patient is via IV. IV's then are used in order to: * Rehydrate * Feed * Medicate
0.9% NaCl solution (normal saline, physiological saline) is used to give intravenous fluids to the patients suffering from salt and water deprivation. It can be used to wash the wounds etc.
A saline solution is made of salt and water. It is used in medical treatments to clean wounds, hydrate patients, and deliver medications through injections or intravenous (IV) drips.
Intravenous feeding can supply some or all of the nutrients these patients need.
If in hospice, IVs are used for morphine drips, and that is about all.
IV saline solution is used to treat dehydration in patients by replenishing lost fluids and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. This helps restore the body's fluid balance and hydration levels more quickly and effectively than oral rehydration methods.
0.9
D5LR solution is used for intravenous fluid replacement and maintenance in patients with electrolyte deficits or dehydration. It contains dextrose to provide energy, sodium chloride for electrolyte balance, and lactated Ringer's solution to help restore pH balance. It is often prescribed for patients with fluid losses from burns, surgery, or trauma.
Saline solution, albumin solution, or synthetic plasma can be used as substitutes for blood plasma in medical settings. These alternatives can help maintain blood volume and electrolyte balance in patients needing intravenous fluid therapy.
Ringer's solution is a sterile, isotonic solution commonly used in medical settings to maintain hydration and electrolyte balance in patients. It is often used as an intravenous fluid during surgeries or to treat conditions like dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. Ringer's solution closely resembles the electrolyte composition of human plasma, making it effective in restoring and maintaining fluid balance in the body.
Injection ceftriaxone is most commonly used via intravenous route only.
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.
Prolonged Normal Saline Solution (PNSS) is used for intravenous hydration to replenish fluid and electrolytes in patients with dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, or other conditions that result in fluid loss. It helps restore normal fluid balance in the body and support proper organ function.
