Ativan (lorazepam) is not typically expected to crystallize when mixed with IV D5NS (5% dextrose in normal saline). However, it is essential to ensure proper mixing and consult compatibility charts or a pharmacist, as the solubility of medications can vary based on concentration, temperature, and other factors. Always follow institutional protocols and guidelines for drug administration.
D5NS is a solution used for intravenous hydration and electrolyte replacement. It contains dextrose (5%), sodium chloride, and potassium chloride in specified concentrations, and is commonly used in medical settings to treat dehydration or imbalances in electrolytes.

5% dextrose in saline (D5NS) can be used in conditions where there is a need to provide both fluid resuscitation and glucose support. It is commonly used in patients with hypoglycemia, dehydration, or mild hyponatremia. D5NS is often administered to maintain blood sugar levels in patients receiving insulin therapy or, in some cases, to prevent hypoglycemia during prolonged fasting.
Are you sure it's D5N5? D5NS (letter "S") is a short way of saying 5% of dextrose in normal saline, it's a type of drip given IV.
D5NS @ 100cc/hr X 24 hrs/day = 2400 cc or 2.4 liters daily. Depending on the source, carbohydrates (dextrose in the IV) yield 4 kcal/gram. D5NS is 5% dextrose (carb) so that in each liter (1000 cc) of fluid the patient receives 50 grams of dextrose (0.05 X 1000 = 50) Then, 50 grams dextrose X 2.4 liters/day = 120 grams of dextrose/day.If dextrose provides 4 kcal/gram, 120 grams of dextrose/day would be equivalent to 480 kcal (120 grams X 4 kcal/gram)
if a patient is found to have a low blood sugar, dextrose 50% is given to increase the blood sugar. a CBG (cellular blood glucose) is checked in most/all cardiac arrests to rule out hypoglycemia ( low blood sugar). dextrose 50% is also given to patients who are presenting with a low blood sugar and altered mental status.
