PlasmaLyteLösungen

PlasmaLyte Lösungen are intravenous fluid solutions used in medical settings. They are designed to be isotonic, meaning they have a similar salt concentration to blood plasma. This isotonicity is crucial for maintaining fluid balance within the body and preventing damage to red blood cells.

These solutions typically contain electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and acetate, along with a buffering agent. The specific composition of PlasmaLyte solutions can vary, with different formulations designed for particular clinical needs. For example, some formulations are designed to be more alkaline to help correct metabolic acidosis.

PlasmaLyte Lösungen are administered intravenously to patients who are dehydrated, have electrolyte imbalances, or require fluid replacement during surgery or illness. They are a common choice for maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance during various medical procedures and treatments. Their balanced electrolyte profile and buffering capacity contribute to their effectiveness in managing fluid and acid-base disturbances. Medical professionals carefully select the appropriate PlasmaLyte solution based on the patient's individual clinical condition and needs.
