Ringer's lactate solution is in the crystalloid family of medications. [5] It is isotonic, i.e. it has the same tonicity as blood. [2] Ringer's solution was invented in the 1880s; lactate was added in the 1930s. [4] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [6] Lactated Ringer's is available as a generic medication. [1]
Lactated Ringer's solution contains 28 mmol/L lactate, 4 mmol/L K + and 1.5 mmol/L Ca 2+. It is very similar – though not identical – to Hartmann's solution , the ionic concentrations of which differ slightly.
Ringer's solution is a solution of several salts dissolved in water for the purpose of creating an isotonic solution relative to the body fluids of an animal. Ringer's solution typically contains sodium chloride , potassium chloride , calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate , with the last used to buffer the pH .

Fluid replacement or fluid resuscitation is the medical practice of replenishing bodily fluid lost through sweating, bleeding, fluid shifts or other pathologic processes. . Fluids can be replaced with oral rehydration therapy (drinking), intravenous therapy, rectally such as with a Murphy drip, or by hypodermoclysis, the direct injection of fluid into the subcutaneous tis
Sodium lactate is used to treat arrhythmias caused by overdosing of class I antiarrythmics, as well as pressor sympathomimetics which can cause hypertension. [10]It can be given intravenously as a source of bicarbonate for preventing or controlling mild to moderate metabolic acidosis in patients with restricted oral intake (for sodium bicarbonate) whose oxidative processes are not seriously ...
D5LR (5% dextrose in lactated Ringer solution) D50 – 50% dextrose in water; The percentage is a mass concentration, so a 5% glucose/dextrose solution contains 50 g/L of glucose/dextrose (5 g per 100 ml). This usage is imprecise but widely used, as discussed at Mass concentration (chemistry) § Usage in biology.
Oppose - I'm not sure why the IP editor suggested it, but while Ringer's lactate solution is a type of Ringer's solution, its health-care importance is sufficient to justify a stand-alone article. Conversely, not all Ringer's solutions include lactate, so it would make no sense to merge that article into this one.
