compound sodium lactate

Compound sodium lactate, commonly known as Lactated Ringer's solution or Hartmann's solution, is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic intravenous fluid used for fluid and electrolyte replenishment. It contains sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride dihydrate in water. It is indicated as a source of water and electrolytes, as an alkalinizing agent, and for conditions such as dehydration, metabolic acidosis, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and extracellular fluid loss. It is also used for arthroscopic irrigation, general irrigation, rinsing, and washing. The lactate component is metabolized by the liver into bicarbonate, which helps buffer metabolic acidosis. It is widely manufactured by companies such as B. Braun, Baxter, and Fresenius Kabi.
