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).

Answer:
It is possible for large molecules to join a cell by a method called endocytosis, where a small piece of the cell membrane surrounds the particle and is brought into the cell. If the particle is solid, endocytosis is also dubbed phagocytosis. If fluid droplets are taken in, the process is called pinocytosis.
The expected reference range when obtaining oxygen
saturation level is 95%-100%.
The four reasons as to why the reference range may be lower
is due to the following;
-
Pulmonary edema
-
Person with history of COPD
-
Asthma and Emphysema
-
Pneumonia
