    IV Solutions Cheatsheet

    This document describes various crystalloid IV solutions including their tonicity, osmolality, and common uses. D5W is an isotonic solution used to treat hypernatremia and replace water loss. It contains glucose but no electrolytes. Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) is also isotonic and can be used for postoperative fluids or replacing extracellular fluid losses as it has NaCl at a higher concentration than blood. Hypertonic saline (3% NaCl) is used cautiously to treat symptomatic hyponatremia but can cause cerebral edema.
