A member asked:
Would 3% 500ml hypertonic drip cause major bad reactions if administered over a 2.5hour time period to someone who has only slightly low (136) sodium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should not: There are multiple variables that dictate the rate of sodium changes when giving saline solution. Hypertonic saline may elevate a patients sodium level but this depends on how much and how quickly it is given. Generally, 500cc of 3% saline over 2.5 hours would not cause a reaction.
