An easy way to remember what e.g. means is to think of it as standing for example given.. Alternatively, just say eg out loud â it sounds just like the first syllable in example. i.e. i.e. stands for id est which means that is.
A solution of 0.9% sodium chloride is known as normal saline solution because its tonicity (308 mOsm/liter) closely correlates with the osmolality of plasma. This solution contains 154 mEq/liter of both sodium and chloride, close to normal plasma levels of 140 mEq/liter of sodium and 103 mEq/ liter of chloride.odium-containing fluids range from hypotonic (0.45% sodium chloride solution) to isotonic (0.9% sodium chloride solution) to hypertonic (5% dextrose in 0.9% sodium chloride 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).ntravenous (IV) fluids are infused to maintain fluid balance, replace fluid losses, and treat electrolyte imbalances. They are commonly available in volumes ranging from 25 mL to 1,000 mL and are dispensed in either plastic bags or glass bottles.
