ICU Medical Normosol-R pH 7. Multiple Electrolytes Injection Type 1, USP 1000mL

The ICU Medical Normosol-R pH 7. Multiple Electrolytes Injection Type 1, USP 1000mL is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution designed to restore and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in patients requiring intravenous therapy. This balanced electrolyte solution is commonly used in clinical settings for fluid replacement, hydration, and electrolyte replenishment in cases of dehydration, surgery, trauma, or other conditions that lead to fluid loss.

Key Features and Benefits

Balanced Electrolyte Composition: Normosol-R contains a precise mixture of essential electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and acetate. This balanced composition closely mimics the body's natural plasma, making it ideal for fluid replacement while minimizing the risk of electrolyte imbalances.

Physiological pH of 7: The solution is formulated with a physiological pH of 7, which is neutral and aligns with the body’s natural blood pH. This neutral pH reduces the risk of irritation and metabolic disturbances during infusion, making it safe for a wide range of patients, including those with sensitive physiological conditions.

Multiple Electrolytes for Comprehensive Support: Normosol-R includes key electrolytes that play vital roles in cellular functions, nerve signaling, and muscle contractions. By providing a comprehensive mix of electrolytes, it helps to stabilize blood chemistry and supports overall cellular homeostasis during critical care.

Acetate as an Alkalizing Agent: Acetate, included in the formulation, serves as a bicarbonate precursor. It helps counteract metabolic acidosis by being metabolized into bicarbonate in the liver. This feature is particularly beneficial in cases where patients are at risk of acid-base imbalances.

1000mL Volume for Versatile Use: The large 1000mL bag offers a convenient volume for various clinical needs, ranging from routine hydration therapy to more intensive resuscitation efforts. The flexible container is designed for easy hanging and administration, with clear labeling for quick identification.

Wide Range of Clinical Applications: Normosol-R is suitable for a broad spectrum of uses, including intraoperative and postoperative fluid management, treatment of dehydration, and replacement of extracellular fluid losses. It is often chosen in perioperative settings due to its balanced composition and physiological compatibility.

Sterile and Ready-to-Use: The solution is provided in a sterile, ready-to-use IV bag, minimizing preparation time and reducing the risk of contamination. The packaging is designed for easy connection to standard IV administration sets, allowing for quick and efficient setup.

Safe for Various Patient Populations: Normosol-R is generally well-tolerated and can be used across diverse patient populations, including pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients. It is an excellent choice for patients requiring rapid fluid restoration without introducing additional metabolic stress.

Clinical Applications

The ICU Medical Normosol-R pH 7. Multiple Electrolytes Injection Type 1, USP 1000mL is primarily used for:
