How CARDIOPLEGIC IN PLASTIC CONTAINER Works

Ringer’s Injection provides essential electrolytes to regulate fluid distribution and acid-base balance. Sodium manages osmotic pressure and water distribution, while chloride assists in maintaining acid-base equilibrium. Potassium acts as the primary intracellular cation, critical for nerve conduction, muscle contraction (particularly cardiac), carbohydrate utilization, and protein synthesis. Calcium is provided to support blood coagulation, normal cardiac function, and the regulation of neuromuscular irritability.
