The choice of fluids for replacement depends on the specific needs of the patient and the nature of the toxin involved. Commonly used fluids include:
Isotonic saline (0.9% sodium chloride) for volume expansion and electrolyte replacement. Lactated Ringer's solution, which can help in buffering acid-base imbalances. Dextrose solutions for patients requiring additional calories or in cases of hypoglycemia induced by toxic agents.
