Can sodium chloride and potassium be given safely through iv saline without need for for abg blood test if alkalosis is suspected?can sodium chloride help rebalance slight acid-base disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sodium chloride and potassium are given iv commonly in the inpatient setting guided on frequent serial lab checks( including ABG’ s), never given on suspicion, but on actual numbers and their dynamics. They are indeed among the most common iv fluids used nowadays.
