DEXTROSE 5%, SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.2% AND POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 20MEQ (K) (dextrose) · Baxter
This solution is an intravenous fluid used to provide calories (via dextrose) and essential electrolytes (sodium, chloride, and potassium) to patients. It is primarily used for the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in patients who are unable to take adequate oral fluids or who have specific electrolyte deficiencies.
How DEXTROSE 5%, SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.2% AND POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 20MEQ (K) Works
This solution works by restoring and maintaining fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Dextrose provides a source of energy and helps minimize glycogen depletion. Sodium and chloride are the primary electrolytes of the extracellular fluid, maintaining osmotic pressure, while potassium is the principal intracellular cation, essential for nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and renal function. Unlike ACD solutions, this product does not have anticoagulant properties and does not bind calcium.
