A member asked:
Are intravenous solutions isotonic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Normal saline (0.9% nacl) and lactated ringer's (lr) is very close to isotonic. Hypertonic saline, hypotonic saline (0.45% nacl), d5w (dextrose 5%), d5ns, and d5 1/2ns are not. It all depends on the fluid and electrolyte needs.
