Abstract
A sterile, pyrogen-free fluid replacement solution for intravenous infusion is disclosed that consists essentially of a physiologically acceptable sodium salt, a physiologically acceptable potassium salt, an osmolality control agent, and, optionally, a component selected from the group consisting of a physiologically acceptable calcium salt and a physiologically acceptable magnesium salt.
Claims9
A sterile pyrogen-free body fluid replacement solution for intravenous infusion consisting essentially of from 30 to 100 mMol Na (per 1000 mls) as a physiologically acceptable salt;
- from 15 to 50 mMol K (per 1000 mls) as a physiologically acceptable salt;
- an effective amount of a physiologically acceptable osmolality control agent for providing an osmolality of from 260 to 320 mOsm per kg of solution, said solution being substantially free of material having a molecular weight greater than 5000, and substantially free of in vivo pH biasing agent and in vivo bicarbonate-carbon dioxide balance biasing agent;
- and, optionally, a component selected from the group consisting of not more than 5 mMol of calcium and not more than 10 mMol of magnesium (per 1000 mls) as a physiologically acceptable salt.
