Isotonic Fluids What They Are: - Isotonic fluids have the same osmolarity as blood plasma (about 275-295 mOsm/L). - They expand the extracellular fluid (ECF) without causing a shift in fluid between compartments.  Common Examples: - 0.9% Sodium Chloride (Normal Saline) - Hartmanns solution - 5% Dextrose in Water (D5W) - initially isotonic, but becomes hypotonic as dextrose is metabolized  Uses: - To treat dehydration - To replace fluid losses (e.g., haemorrhage, surgery) - To maintain fluid balance during surgery  2.
