Part 2 - IV Fluids Made Easy💦 *The only exception to this memory trick is 5% dextrose in water (D5W) 👉D5W starts as an isotonic solution, then changes to a hypotonic solution once the dextrose is metabolized 🧠Think of 0.9% normal saline as your base number! This is an isotonic solution = same solute concentration as the fluid inside the cells ⬆️Any number above this is considered a HYPERtonic solution = HIGHER solute concentration the fluid inside the cells ⬇️Any number below this is consider
