NS 3% INFUSION 100ML

Normal Saline is a prescription medicine used for fluid and electrolyte replenishment for intravenous administration. Normal Saline may be used alone or with other medications. Normal Saline belongs to a class of drugs called Crystalloid Fluid.

Hypertonic 3% sodium chloride is no longer available x26amp; so 30% sodium chloride vials must be used to produce a 3% solution. e.g. to produce 250ml of 3% sodium chloride remove 18mls from a 250ml bag of 0.9% sodium chloride x26amp; discard. Then add 18mls of 30% sodium chloride to the remaining 232mls in the bag.

Conclusions: Hypertonic saline administration as a 3% infusion appears to be a promising therapy for cerebral edema in patients with head trauma or postoperative edema.
