Intravenous (IV) fluids play a crucial role in medical care, and one commonly used type is Normal Saline (NS) with a concentration of 0.9%. NS 0.9% is an isotonic solution that closely resembles the electrolyte composition of human blood plasma, making it compatible with the body’s fluids.

NS 0.9% is an isotonic solution that closely resembles the electrolyte composition of human blood plasma, making it compatible with the body’s fluids. This makes NS 0.9% an excellent choice for various clinical scenarios, such as fluid resuscitation, maintenance hydration, and electrolyte replacement. It helps restore intravascular volume, maintain blood pressure, and provide essential electrolytes, including sodium and chloride. Additionally, NS 0.9% is often used as a compatible solution for administering medications.
