Obesity is a term that means you weigh at least 20% more than what is considered a normal weight for your height. It makes you more likely to have conditions including: Heart disease and stroke.
An Isotonic Solution creates a mild, less concentrated salt solution of 9mg of Sodium Chloride per mL of water, which has a similar salt concentration as your body and may be more comfortable to use for some people initially compated to the more concentrated Hypertonic solution.
This type of solution is infused to replace fluid losses, usually extracellular losses, and to expand the intravascular volume. Most isotonic solutions do not provide calories or free water. Examples of isotonic solutions are 0.9% sodium chloride, commonly called normal saline (NS), and lactated Ringerâs (LR).
