What is the injection effect of glucose and sodium chloride

Glucose and sodium chloride injection is mainly used to supplement body fluids, electrolytes, and energy, and is suitable for situations such as dehydration, hypoglycemia, and electrolyte imbalance. Its main functions include maintaining plasma osmotic pressure, correcting water electrolyte imbalance, providing energy support, regulating acid-base balance, and assisting in drug dilution and infusion.

1. Fluid supplementation:

Glucose and sodium chloride injection contains 5% glucose and 0.9% sodium chloride, which is similar to the osmotic pressure of human plasma and can quickly replenish fluid loss caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating. Especially suitable for dehydration conditions such as acute gastroenteritis and postoperative fasting, it can be directly injected into the bloodstream through intravenous infusion.

2. Correct electrolyte imbalance:

Sodium chloride can effectively supplement sodium and chloride ions, improve symptoms such as fatigue and drowsiness caused by hyponatremia. For electrolyte imbalances caused by long-term diuretic use or adrenal cortex dysfunction, this solution can stabilize extracellular fluid volume and neuromuscular function.

3. Energy supply:

Glucose, as the main energy substance of the body, can provide 200 calories per 1000ml of injection solution. Suitable for fasting patients, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, or hypoglycemia caused by insulin overdose, especially for postoperative patients who cannot eat, it plays an important nutritional support role.

4. Adjusting osmotic pressure:

isotonic formula can maintain fluid balance inside and outside blood vessels, prevent hemolysis or tissue edema. In cases of burns, hemorrhagic shock, etc., effective circulating blood volume can be restored to avoid organ dysfunction caused by abnormal osmotic pressure.

5. Drug carrier:

is a basic solution for intravenous administration, commonly used for the infusion of antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and other combinations. Its stability reduces the risk of drug precipitation, while diluting high concentrations of drugs to reduce vascular irritation, ensuring treatment safety and effectiveness.

The use of glucose and sodium chloride injection should strictly follow medical advice, and patients with heart and kidney dysfunction should control the infusion speed to prevent excessive circulatory load. Blood glucose and electrolyte levels were monitored during infusion, and diabetes patients should cooperate with insulin regulation. Long term users need to regularly assess their blood sodium, potassium, and acid-base status to avoid iatrogenic electrolyte imbalances. When storing, pay attention to avoiding light and freezing. If turbidity or sedimentation occurs, stop using immediately.
