  • What Are IV Fluids?

    Intravenous fluids (IV Fluids), also known as intravenous solutions, are supplemental fluids used in intravenous therapy to restore or maintain normal fluid volume and electrolyte balance when the oral route is not possible. IV fluid therapy is an efficient and effective way of supplying fluids directly into the intravascular fluid compartment, in ...

  • Types of IV Fluids

    There are different types of IV fluids and different ways on how to classify them. The most common way to categorize IV fluids is based on their tonicity: 1. Isotonic. Isotonic IV solutions that have the same concentration of solutes as blood plasma. 2. Hypotonic. Hypotonic solutions have lesser concentration of solutes than plasma. 3. Hypertonic. ...

  • Crystalloids

    Crystalloid IVsolutions contain small molecules that flow easily across semipermeable membranes. They are categorized according to their relative tonicity in relation to plasma. There are three types: isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.

  • Colloids

    Colloids contain large molecules that do not pass through semipermeable membranes. Colloids are IV fluids that contain solutes of high molecular weight, technically, they are hypertonic solutions, which when infused, exert an osmotic pull of fluids from interstitial and extracellular spaces. They are useful for expanding the intravascular volume an...

What is the difference between hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?

In a hypotonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a lower osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell; water enters the cell. In a hypertonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a higher osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell; water leaves the cell.

What is an example of a hypotonic IV solution?

An example of a hypotonic IV solution is 0.45% Normal Saline (0.45% NaCl). When hypotonic IV solutions are infused, it results in a decreased concentration of dissolved solutes in the blood as compared to the intracellular space. This imbalance causes osmotic movement of water from the intravascular compartment into the intracellular space.

How does water move in a hypotonic solution?

Water moves from the side of the membrane with lower osmolarity (and more water) to the side with higher osmolarity (and less water). In a hypotonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a lower osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell; water enters the cell.

How does hypotonic fluid affect homeostasis?

Hypo- means low which, in the case of IV fluids, has fewer solutes and has more fluid. This will cause the fluids to move inside the cell, resulting in the expansion or swelling of the cell. Since the osmolality of hypotonic solutions is lower, the fluid from outside of the cell enters inside the cell to achieve homeostasis.
