| Solution | Components | Indications |
|---|
| Saline solutions | Na and Cl (NS, 0.9% NaCl, sodium chloride). | Alkalosis, fluid loss, sodium depletion. |
| Dextrose solutions | Dextrose in water (D5W, D10W). | Caloric replacement, promote sodium diuresis, maintain water balance, prevent dehydration. |
| Dextrose and saline mixtures | Dextrose in saline (D5NS, D51/2NS, D10NS). | Promote diuresis, moderate fluid loss, prevent alkalosis, provide calories and sodium chloride. |
| Multielectrolyte solutions | Combination of Na, Cl, K, Ca, and lactate (LR). | Replace fluid lost from vomiting, GI suctioning, or dehydration. |
