|
high osmolarity than serum
pulls fluid into blood vessels decrease edema, stabilize BP, regulate urine output |
|
|
hypertonic IV solutions
|
dextrose 5% in half NS
dextrose 5% in NS dextrose 5% in LR 3% NaCl 25% albumin 7.5% NaCl |
|
|
hypertonic IV solution considerations
|
caution of circulatory overload
don't give to pt. with DKA (cellular dehydration) don't give with impaired heart/kidney (extra fluid is bad) |
|
|
hypotonic solution definition

|
hypotonic IV solution considerations
|
fluid shift into cells
don't give to pt. at risk for ICP from stroke, head trauma, neurosurgery |

|
|
isotonic IV solution considers
|
watch for signs of fluid volume overload
don't give LR if solution p exceeds 7.5 avoid giving D5W if ICP - becomes hypotonic after glucose is absorbed |
