Patient's question:
Last week, the child had a cold and fever. They went to the pet hospital to receive a few IV drips. The doctor there was an intern who saw him add glucose anesthesia to the saline and then mix it together to anesthetize me. He was very concerned about whether this might cause any adverse reactions.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, can glucose and saline be mixed together for intravenous injection?
Doctor's answer:
Hello; Generally, doctors can confirm the use of a mixture of glucose and saline based on the specific condition of the patient. In general, there are four purposes for intravenous infusion: First, fluid replacement, the body needs intravenous infusion to replenish fluid volume when it is dehydrated; Second, dehydration, to reduce intracranial pressure, high-osmolar glucose is often used, or even 20% mannitol; Third, nutrition, glucose and saline are commonly used; Fourth, as a drug delivery channel, the liquid used is merely a solvent, and at this time, whether glucose or salt is used is not particularly important. The above is the suggestion for the question "Can glucose and saline be mixed for intravenous injection?", hoping it will be helpful to you, wish you health!
