A member asked:
Is 2000ml of normal saline too much fluid over 8 hrs? and when u flush the line with heparin is that going into my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IV Hydration: No and yes. This is a safe amount of fluid as long as you do not have renal failure. The Heparin does go into your vein. But, this medication does not last long. It dissolves very rapidly and is not thought to be of any danger in such a small dose.
