It is saline that has twice the concentration of salt as normal saline. Normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, so twice normal is 1.8% NaCl. Now I have a question. Is this ever given to patients?
Normal saline is the only IV fluid which is compatible with our blood. Given before to flush blood from the iv catheter and after to rinse it to make the site patent.
Yes it can be given slow IV push and can be diluted with Normal Saline or D5W
NS
Yes it can be given . Only nurses and pharmacist who have better business and knowledge can say yo more about it.
infusion doesnt get diluted or mixed and goes straight into a patients iv, where as irrigation is usually mixed with a powdered drug, such as antibotics, then given as an injection
Yes it can be given . Only nurses and pharmacist who have no better business with their half baked knowledge advise wrong !!
Saline solution should always be in given as a concentration of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl).
no sterile saline cannot be used because strile saline is different from injectable saline. strile saline is used for irrigating the wound and injectable saline in given intravenously
IV just stands for IntraVenous, so almost any fluid can be given that way, but the standard solution that is given is saline to which you can add whatever additive you need. Typical saline solution just contains sterile water and sodium chloride (salt). The concentration of the salt can vary depending on what it is needed for. Two of the more common concentrations are 0.9% (normal saline) which is isotonic to blood, and 0.45% (also called 1/2 normal saline), which is hypotonic to blood. Another common additive to saline is dextrose, which like saline comes in carrying concentrations. There are also some specialty IV solutions such as Ringers Lactate and Acitated Ringers, that are used in certain circumstances.
A person is dehydrated and is given 500 ml of normal saline.how many grams of sodium chloride will person recieve ?
