    IV Fluids

    This document discusses different types of IV fluids including their names, colors, and tonicity levels. It defines isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic fluids based on how they affect cell volumes. Isotonic fluids cause no movement between compartments and cell volume remains the same. Hypotonic fluids move into cells causing cell rupture, while hypertonic fluids pull fluid out of cells causing them to shrink. The tonicity of IV solutions relates to how red blood cells respond when the solution is added.

    IV FLUIDS

    NAME of IV color Type

    PNSS Green Isotonic


    Plain LRS Blue Isotonic
    D5LRS Pink Hypertonic
    D5Water Red Isotonic
    D10Water Blue green Hypertonic
    D5 0.3 NaCl Sky blue Hypertonic

    TYPES of FLUID

    1. ISOTONIC Fluid – no movement of fluid.

    2. HYPOTONIC Fluid – fluid will enter the cell, the cell will shrink.

    3. HYPERTONIC Fluid – fluid will go out from the cell, the cell will shrink.

    Tonicity of IV Fluids

    Definition: The tonicity of an IV solution relates to how the red blood cells respond when the solution is
    added.

    Isotonic Fluid
    Cell volume remains the same
    moves equally
    between
    compartments

    Fluid is moving equally into and out of the


    compartments
    IV FLUIDS

    Hypotonic

    Fluid moves
    into the cells Fluid moves into RBC causing cell
    rupture (hemolysis)

    Fluid moves from the vascular space into the cells.


    The major problems with administering hypotonic IV
    solutions is the hemolyis and swelling of the cells in the
    brain that occurs

    Hypertonic

    Fluid is
    pulled out of
    the cells
    Fluid moves out of the cell causing
    crenation (shrinking) of the RBC

    Fluid is pulled out of the cells and into the vascular


    system, so increases intravascular volume.
