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.
it is 1/5 saline
Common isotonic IV solutions include 0.9% normal saline (NS), lactated Ringer's (LR) solution, and 5% dextrose in water (D5W). These solutions have a similar osmolarity to blood plasma and are often used to restore fluid balance in the body.
The osmolality of 5% dextrose with normal saline will be approximately 560 mOsm/kg. This calculation takes into account the osmolality contributions of both dextrose and normal saline components. It is important to note that osmolality measures the concentration of osmotically active particles in a solution.

An example of an isotonic solution is normal saline (0.9% NaCl solution). Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as bodily fluids, allowing for minimal movement of water across cell membranes to maintain cell integrity.
D5NSS stands for Dextrose 5% in Normal Saline Solution. It is a type of intravenous fluid that contains dextrose (sugar) and saline (salt solution). It is used to provide a source of glucose for energy and to help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
it means 5% dextrose in 0.45% saline. This is a hypertonic solution and useful to treat hypovolemia and hyponatremia.
1. D5W=Dextrose 5% in water 2. Normal saline=0.9% NaCl 3. 1/2 Normal saline=0.45% NaCl
A hypotonic solution has less than normal tension: hypo = less, and tonic = tonicity, the concentration of solute. Examples of hypotonic solutions: (1) Sports drinks that contain salts / electrolytes (2) physiologically: a. 0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic b. dextrose 2.5% in water c. dextrose 2% in water
it called 5 % Dextrose because contains 5 gram of Dextrose / 100ml of Water (5% Dextrose in Water)
The concentration of an isotonic glucose solution is typically around 5% (w/v), which means 5 grams of glucose dissolved in 100 mL of water. Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as blood and are commonly used in medical settings.
