BODY FLUID REPLACEMENT SOLUTION

摘要

The present invention provides a sterile pyrogen-free body fluid electrolyte replacement solution for intravenous infusion. The solution consists essentially of an aqueous solution containing from 30 to 100 mMol Na (per 1000 mls) as a physiologically acceptable salt; from 15 to 50 mMol K (per 1000 mls) as a physiologically acceptable salt; and an effective amount of a physiologically acceptable osmolatity control agent for providing an osmolality of from 260 to 320 mOsm per kg of solution. The solution is also substantially free of material having a molecular weight greater than 5000, and substantially free of any material capable of significantly affecting acid-base balance in vivo.
