POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 30MEQ IN DEXTROSE 5% AND LACTATED RINGER'S IN PLASTIC CONTAINER (calcium chloride) · OTSUKA ICU MEDCL
This intravenous solution is indicated as a source of water, electrolytes, and calories for adult and pediatric patients. It is used for maintenance or replacement of fluid and essential minerals, while providing carbohydrates to minimize protein breakdown and support metabolic requirements.
How POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 30MEQ IN DEXTROSE 5% AND LACTATED RINGER'S IN PLASTIC CONTAINER Works
This solution functions by replenishing extracellular fluid volume and essential ions. Sodium regulates water distribution and osmotic pressure, while potassium (supplemented at 30mEq) is critical for nerve impulse transmission and cardiac muscle contraction. Calcium is included for neuromuscular signaling and blood coagulation, and chloride maintains acid-base balance. The lactate component is metabolized into bicarbonate, serving as an alkalizing agent. Dextrose provides a source of energy (calories), which helps spare body proteins and prevents ketosis by maintaining blood glucose levels.
