IVF TABLE From Allnurses

This document summarizes commonly used IV solutions, including their ingredients, uses, and potential complications. It describes solutions as hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic based on their sodium and chloride concentrations. Isotonic solutions like 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) and lactated Ringer's are used for hydration and electrolyte replacement. Hypertonic solutions like 3% sodium chloride and 10% dextrose in water can treat hyponatremia or provide calories. Rapid infusion of some solutions may cause fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, or acid-base disturbances.
