DIFFERENT KINDS OF IV FLUIDS


IVF CONCENTRATION CONDITIONS APPLICABLE
Normal Saline Solution Isotonic  To treat low extracellular fluid, as in fluid volume deficit from
hemorrhage, severe vomiting and diarrhea, heavy drainage
from GI suction, fistulas, or wounds.
 Shock
 Mild hyponatremia
 Metabolic Acidosis (such as diabetic ketoacidosis)
 It’s the fluid choice for resuscitation efforts.
 it’s the only fluid used with administration of blood products
Lactated Ringer’s Isotonic  To replace GI tract fluid losses (Diarrhea and vomiting)
 Fistula drainage
 Fluid losses due to burns and trauma
 Patients experiencing acute blood loss or hypovolemia due to
third space fluid shifts
Dextrose 5% water Isotonic  Fluid loss and dehydration
 Hypernatermia
 Commonly used post-operatively in conjuction with salt retaining
fluids
0.45% sodium chloride Hypotonic  Gastric fluid loss
 Cellular dehydration from excessive diuresis
 Slow rehydration
0.33%sodium chloride Hypotonic  Hypertension
 Hypernatermia
 Diabetic ketoacidosis
2.5% dextrose in water Hypotonic  Replace cellular fluid
 Provides free water for excretion of wastes
 Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state
D5NSS (5% Dextrose in Hypertonic  Heat related disorders
normal saline solution)  Fresh water drowning
 Peritonitis
 Avoid in impaired cardiac and renal function
D5 in 0.45% NaCl ( 5% Hypertonic  Heat exhaustion
Dextrose in half  Diabetic disorders
strength normal saline)  TKO solution in patients with renal or cardiac dysfunction
D5LR (5% Dextrose in Hypertonic  Hypovolemic shock
Lactated Ringer's  Hemorrhagic shock
Solution)  Certain cases of acidosis
