9 Αυγ 2024 · IV solutions are considered hypotonic if the total electrolyte content is less than 250 mEq/L. Hypotonic IV fluids are usually used to provide free water for excretion of body wastes, treat cellular dehydration, and replace the cellular fluid.
In nursing school and on the NCLEX exam, you will be required to know what type of IV fluids are considered isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. In this article, I give you an easy overview of each solution and how they work on the cellular level.
An example of a hypotonic IV solution is 0.45% Normal Saline (0.45% NaCl). When hypotonic IV solutions are infused, it results in a decreased concentration of dissolved solutes in the blood as compared to the intracellular space.
2 Μαΐ 2023 · A few examples of hypotonic IV fluids include half normal saline, quarter normal saline, and 2.5% dextrose solution. These fluids are useful for rehydrating cells and treating dehydration in general. There are, however, some risks associated with these fluids.
Crystalloid solutions for intravascular volume replenishment are typically isotonic (eg, 0.9% saline or Ringer's lactate). Water freely travels outside the vasculature, so as little as 10% of isotonic fluid remains in the intravascular space.
An example of a hypotonic IV solution is 0.45% normal saline (0.45% NaCl). When hypotonic IV solutions are infused, it results in a decreased concentration of dissolved solutes in the blood as compared to the intracellular space.
