So what type of IV solutions are hypertonic?  These are the common ones:

<span>10% Dextrose in Water3% Saline5% Dextrose in 0.45% Saline5% Dextrose in 0.9% Saline</span>

Notice that three of the solutions contain Dextrose, which is a sugar.  The dextrose is included as a way of providing extra calories to the patient.  In fact, even though these dextrose solutions are hypertonic, once the dextrose is absorbed by the body then only pure water or saline is left in the blood vessels.  These three solutions are primarily used for the purpose of providing the patient with extra calories.

3% saline is typically used to treat severe cases of hyponatremia (low sodium).
