Overview Normal Saline Infusion

Purified salt solution forms the basis of Normal Saline intravenous therapy, a short-term fluid replacement treatment. It addresses hypovolemia stemming from dehydration or trauma by replenishing depleted electrolytes and sodium. Administration requires healthcare professional oversight; patients with known allergies should avoid it. Blood pressure monitoring and routine blood tests may be implemented during treatment. Common, albeit infrequent, side effects include injection site irritation, low blood pressure, pyrexia, tremors, and shivering. Report any concerning symptoms to your physician. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and those with kidney impairment, should disclose this information prior to treatment as dosage modifications might be necessary. This infusion is generally safe for patients with liver conditions.
