IV Solution Cheat Sheet Type Normal Saline (NS) 1/2 Normal Saline (1/2 NS) Lactated Ringer’s (LR) D5 W D5NS Description Osmolality Normosol-R Miscellaneous 0.9% NaCl in Water Crystalloid Solution Isotonic (308 mOsm) Increases circulating plasma volume when red cells are adequate Replaces losses without altering fluid concentrations. Helpful for Na+ replacement 0.45% NaCl in Water Crystalloid Solution Hypotonic (154 mOsm) Raises total fluid volume Normal saline with electrolytes and buffer Isotonic (275 mOsm) Replaces fluid and buffers pH Useful for daily maintenance of body fluid, but is of less value for replacement of NaCl deficit. Helpful for establishing renal function. Fluid replacement for clients who don’t need extra glucose (diabetics) Normal saline with K+, Ca++, and lactate (buffer) Often seen with surgery Dextrose 5% in water Crystalloid solution Isotonic (in the bag) *Physiologica lly hypotonic (260 mOsm) Raises total fluid volume. Helpful in rehydrating and excretory purposes. Dextrose 5% in 0.9% saline Hypertonic (560 mOsm) Replaces fluid sodium, chloride, and calories. Dextrose 5% in 0.45% saline Hypertonic (406 mOsm) Dextrose 5% in Lactated Ringer’s Hypertonic (575 mOsm) Normosol Isotonic (295 mOsm) Useful for daily maintenance of body fluids and nutrition, and for rehydration. Same as LR plus provides about 180 calories per 1000cc’s. Replaces fluid and buffers pH D5 1/2 NS D5LR Use Provides 170-200 calories/1,000cc for energy. Physiologically hypotonic -the dextrose is metabolized quickly so that only water remains - a hypotonic fluid Watch for fluid volume overload Most common postoperative fluid Watch for fluid volume overload pH 7.4 Contains sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium and magnesium Common fluid for OR and PACU
