Ringer's solution. Indications for use in adults intravenously

Ringer's solution is a detoxifying agent, which additionally helps to normalize water and electrolyte balance in the body. This group of drugs helps prevent the development of complications associated with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the body. Indications for the use of the drug intravenously in adults describe the possibility of therapeutic and prophylactic infusion for various symptoms.

As a plasma substitute

Parenteral solution medication is often used to replenish volume circulating blood, which reduces the likelihood of developing complications against the background of progression diseases.

Shocked

A state of shock develops in patients with a large amount of blood loss or other diseases. Pathology is accompanied by acute symptoms in the form of a critical decrease in blood pressure indicators, impaired consciousness, vomiting, and stool disorders. The use of the solution intravenously is usually carried out in a hospital.

It does not help to relieve the patient of the cause of the shock state, but it eliminates the most pronounced symptoms:

• Weakness.
• Hypotension.
• Dizziness, flashing of flies before the eyes.
• Intense thirst.
• Lack of appetite.

After completing the course, the volume of circulating blood is restored, blood pressure indicators are normalized, and the likelihood of additional complications decreases.

On collapse

A pathological condition that develops against the background of injuries, blood loss, infectious diseases. At the same time, patients' blood pressure rapidly decreases and the volume of circulating blood decreases.

Patients suffer from severe dizziness, headache, possibly impaired consciousness, the appearance of a threat to life. At the same time, the use of a solution does not affect the cause of the development of such a condition, but eliminates the consequence.

Intravenous administration of the solution increases the volume of circulating blood, which makes it possible to increase blood pressure, eliminate the flickering of flies before the eyes, dizziness, and weakness.

With burns

Ringer's solution (indications for use by adults intravenously are described in the instructions for the medicine) for burns is an indispensable tool for helping in the acute stage. A decrease in blood plasma volume in this case leads to the development of complications.

Intravenous infusion of the solution does not eliminate the cause of the decrease in the amount of plasma, since it does not affect tissue regeneration after a burn. But the remedy helps to replenish the fluid deficit, which has a positive effect on the general condition and prevents the appearance of complications from the nervous system, heart and blood vessels.

With frostbite

The drug is often used for frostbite. In this case, the volume of circulating blood does not decrease, but a critical decrease in body temperature leads to hypotension, as well as impaired blood circulation.

As a result, there is an improvement in the blood supply to tissues, the normalization of the work of the heart and blood vessels. As in the case of use after receiving burns, the drug does not eliminate the cause of the violation, but eliminates the consequences.

With prolonged vomiting

Replenishment of the circulating blood volume is necessary for prolonged vomiting and other dyspeptic disorders. The patient loses a lot of fluid, which is accompanied by neurological disorders, weakness, headache, nausea.

Intravenous infusion of the drug does not relieve nausea and vomiting, but eliminates the symptoms of dehydration in the form of dry mucous membranes, seizures, headache, severe weakness.

With diarrhea

Ringer's solution can be given to adults to replace fluid deficiencies with prolonged diarrhea. Indications for the use of the drug describe the possibility of using it for dehydration of various origins, therefore, the drug is administered intravenously to replenish the circulating blood volume.

The drug does not eliminate the cause of diarrhea, which may be associated with the activity of viruses, bacteria, or the development of infectious diseases. But when it is infused with a dropper, the water-electrolyte balance is normalized, which reduces the likelihood of complications against the background of dehydration.

To correct water and electrolyte balance

Many diseases are accompanied by a violation of the water-electrolyte balance, which can provoke other complications from the internal organs.

With acute diffuse peritonitis

Acute diffuse peritonitis is a pathological condition in which there is the occurrence of acute symptoms against the background of inflammation of the serous membrane covering the abdominal organs cavity.

As a result of such a violation in patients in the body, there is almost always a violation of the water-electrolyte balance. The introduction of the solution with the help of a dropper does not eliminate the cause of the development of the inflammatory process, but it helps to normalize the balance of certain components, electrolytes in the body.

With intestinal obstruction

The drug is rarely used for intestinal obstruction, as it does not help to eliminate the cause or symptoms of this disease. The medicine is prescribed only in case of electrolyte imbalance.

Often, patients with such a disorder have weakness, dryness of the mucous membranes, and headache. The use of the solution eliminates these symptoms, which somewhat alleviates the condition.

With intestinal fistula

Ringer's solution (indications for use in adults intravenously describe the possibility of giving short and long courses) can be used for intestinal fistula in order to restore water and electrolyte balance in organism.

A fistula is formed when there is a lesion on the mucous membranes, which gradually increases, perforation is observed, and the intestinal cavity communicates with the abdominal cavity. The use of the solution does not affect the course of the disease and does not eliminate the cause of its development, but prevents the development of additional complications from the nervous system.

Dehydration of various origins

Dehydration develops in patients against a background of various diseases.

Cause of dehydration	Solution action
Vomiting and diarrhea due to poisoning, taking certain medications	The drug with such a violation helps to relieve patients of dizziness, dryness of the mucous membranes, and other symptoms. It does not eliminate the cause of the violation, therefore it is more often used in combination with other means
Inadequate fluid intake	Against the background of some conditions, the patient reduces the amount of fluid consumed. The use of the solution in this case allows you to eliminate the cause of the violation, eliminates the consequences of dehydration
Impaired absorption of fluid in the body	Some pathologies of the stomach and intestines can lead to impaired absorption of fluid when taken orally. The introduction of the solution does not affect the course of the disease, but parenteral infusion allows to normalize the water balance, excluding the ingress of liquid into the digestive tract

Treatment of dehydration is usually carried out for a long time, significantly improves the patient's condition.

Metabolic alkalosis is a pathological condition in which the acid-base balance in the patient's body is disturbed. The use of the solution allows you to stimulate the excretion of ingredients that affect the balance of acids and alkalis from the body.

Additionally, the drug stimulates the kidneys. The medicine does not affect the causes of the violation and does not eliminate symptoms in the form of swelling, deterioration skin condition, but allows you to shorten the recovery period, reduces the likelihood of other complications.

Ringer's solution is considered an effective tool for replenishing electrolytes in the body and normalizing water balance. It is often prescribed for adults and administered with a dropper. In most cases, the remedy eliminates only some of the symptoms of pathologies, but not provoking factors.
