Hartmann's solution is it the same as that of lactated ringers, or what?

Ringer's lactate solutions (RL), also known by the names sodium lactate solution or Hartmann's solution is a mixture sodium chloride and sodium lactate in water. The crystalloid family of medications includes Ringer's Lactate Solution. It is the same tonicity and strength as blood.



Is there any difference between lactated and saline Ringer's?

Because of the differences in particle size, lactated Ringer’s won't last as long as normal saline. Normal Saline contains a higher level of chloride. This can cause renal vasoconstriction which affects blood flow to the kidneys.

Also, why would you choose lactated ringers over normal saline for fluid resuscitation? Ringer Lactate has been shown to be superior than Normal Saline for fluid resuscitation. Normal saline is vasodilator and increases serum potassium, increasing the risk of metabolic acidosis.

What is the purpose of lactated rings?

The sterile solution Lactated Ringer’s provides fluid and electrolyte replenishment. It is used to restore fluid and electrolyte levels, produce diuresis, and act as an alkalizing agent (reduces the acidity). Ringer's solution was approved by the FDA in 1971.

Hartmann's solution is used why?

Compound sodium lactate (Hartmann’s) is used. aC/ to provide intravenous fluid replacement and aC/ to supply bicarbonate for the treatment of mild-to-moderate metabolic acidosis due dehydration or associated potassium deficiency. aC/ to transport intravenous drugs, if the drugs in question are
