Sodium Chloride Solution 0.9%

Solution for infusion: Sodium chloride

Solution for infusion (NaCl solution 0.9%) is a medicinal product that is used to replenish the loss of fluid and electrolytes in the body, as well as to restore the acid-base balance in various conditions.

Solutions for infusion are one of the most common types of medications and are used to treat various diseases, such as dehydration, hypovolemic shock, burns, intoxication, infectious diseases and others.

One of the most popular infusion solutions is sodium chloride, also known as “saline.” It consists of sodium chloride and water, which makes it isotonic, that is, close to the physiological level of concentration of salts and electrolytes. This allows it to quickly restore the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body.

Sodium chloride is available in different concentrations, including 0.9% and 1.6%. NaCl 0.9% solution is the most common form used for intravenous administration.

Indications for use of NaCl 0.9% solution:

1. dehydration
2. hypovolemia
3. state of shock
4. intoxication
5. burns
6. infectious diseases
7. blood loss
8. post-operative recovery

It is important to note that NaCl 0.9% solution should not be used to replace blood plasma, as it contains only salt and water, and does not contain other elements necessary to maintain the body.

When using a 0.9% NaCl solution, it is necessary to monitor the patient's condition and adjust the dose depending on his individual needs. In some cases, the solution may be replaced with a more concentrated or less concentrated solution depending on the patient's condition.
