Describe differences in the distribution of fluid after intravenously infuse of normal saline infusion, 5% dextrose and colloid solution.

Answer 1

Normal saline distribution is in extra cellular spaces, that’s why it is important to take into consideration in cases of renal failure or heart diseases with care.

D5%W is isotonic and hypotonic solution. It goes both intracellular and extra cellular spaces.

Colloids have large molecules, so they stay intravascularly because they can’t go through the pores of cells to the extra cellular space.
