Description:
B. Braun intravenous replacement solutions are clear to colourless
solutions intended for intravenous infusion.
Pharmacology:
B. Braun intravenous replacement solutions provide various elec-
trolytes and/or glucose in sterile solutions intended for intravenous
infusion. The
solutions are all nominally isotonic, except for the sodium
chloride/glucose solutions
which are hypertonic.
Sodium chloride, potassium chloride and calcium chloride are present
in the various
solutions in concentrations suitable for replacement therapy under
different clinical
conditions (see indications). Sodium lactate is included as a source
of bicarbonate
ions following metabolism of lactate ions _in vivo._
Glucose is a necessary part of intravenous therapy regimes where the
supply of ener-
gy is a requirement. Glucose is the only natural substrate directly
utilised by all body
tissues and is essential for energy supply to the brain, peripheral
nerves, red blood
cells, bone marrow and the renal medulla.
Indications: The solutions are indicated for intravenous fluid therapy
designed to
correct deficiencies in hydration, electrolyte and energy levels. The
solutions may
also be used as solvents for intravenously administered drugs where
compatibility
has been established.
- 0.9% sodium chloride injection may also be used for irrigation of
wounds and
moistening of wound dressings
- Compound Sodium Lactate Solution is particularly suitable for the
