fluid replacement

What Types of Fluids are Used for Replacement?

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.
