Sodium chloride, 0.9% 400 ml

Sodium chloride Has a detoxifying and rehydrating effect.

It replenishes sodium deficiency in various pathological conditions. Sodium chloride 0.9% solution isotonic to human plasma and therefore is quickly eliminated from the vascular bed, only temporarily increasing the BOD (effectiveness in case of blood loss and shock is insufficient).

With high fluid loss and severe intoxication, administration of up to 3000 ml per day is possible. The infusion rate is 540 ml per hour; if necessary the infusion rate is increased.

In children with dehydration manifested by decreased blood pressure (without determining laboratory parameters) the dose is 20-30 ml/kg. Later the dosing regimen is adjusted depending on the laboratory parameters.
