IV Solutions
Product Overview:
The Dextrose + Lactated Ringer's 5% IV Solution, available in a 1000mL flexible bag, combines the benefits of lactated Ringer's solution with the added energy boost of dextrose. This sterile and non-pyrogenic solution is formulated to provide fluid, electrolytes, and calories for patients who require intravenous therapy, making it ideal for use in various medical settings, including emergency care, surgical recovery, and critical care units.
Key Features:
- Combination of Dextrose and Lactated Ringer's Solution:
- Contains 5% dextrose, providing a source of calories and aiding in fluid balance.
- Includes Lactated Ringer's solution, which offers essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, along with lactate, which serves as a buffer to maintain acid-base balance in the body.
- This IV solution is commonly used for electrolyte replacement and fluid resuscitation in patients experiencing dehydration, blood loss, or other conditions requiring rapid fluid administration.
- The addition of 5% dextrose provides approximately 170 kcal per liter, supporting patients who require additional caloric intake due to illness, surgery, or other conditions.
- The 1000mL flexible bag is designed for ease of use and efficient handling, allowing for easy storage and quick administration. It is compatible with standard IV infusion sets and pumps, ensuring seamless integration into hospital protocols.
- The solution is sterile and free from pyrogens, reducing the risk of infection and adverse reactions during intravenous administration.
Administration and Dosage:
- The dosage and rate of administration should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s clinical condition, age, weight, and laboratory results.
- Typically administered intravenously using a sterile IV infusion set. Ensure aseptic techniques to maintain sterility.
Precautions and Contraindications:
- Precautions: Monitor for potential fluid overload in patients with heart failure, renal impairment, or severe hepatic disease. Use cautiously in patients with hyperkalemia or hypercalcemia.
- Contraindications: Should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any components, hyperglycemia, or severe lactic acidosis.
Possible Side Effects:
- Adverse reactions may include local pain or irritation at the infusion site, fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, or hyperglycemia. Monitor patients regularly for any signs of adverse reactions.
Storage and Handling:
- Store at controlled room temperature, away from excessive heat and freezing. Inspect the solution visually for particulate matter or discoloration before administration. Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or if the flexible bag is damaged.
