Lactated Ringer's Solution: Contains electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, and lactate) and is used for fluid resuscitation. D5W (5% Dextrose in Water): Provides calories and hydration, often used when a patient is not eating. Colloids: Colloids Albumin: A protein solution used to expand blood volume in cases of shock or burns. Hetastarch and Dextran: Synthetic solutions that also expand blood volume. #doctor #norcet #neet #nursing #medicalschool #nursingofficer #nurshing #youtubevideo #trending #nursingstudent
