I.V. FLUID (BFS TECHNOLOGY)
CAPACITY: 63,600 BOTTLES/DAY
[CODE NO.3598]
Intravenous fluids, in general are used as I.V drips for patients in nursing homes and hospitals suffering from acute dehydration or considerable debilitating conditions. These I.V fluids replanish the body fluids. Though a number of I.V fluids are there, generally three types of I.V fluids are used in hospitals as I.V drips. They are as follows:-
1. Dextrose injection fluid
2. Dextrose and sodium chloride injection fluid
Types of IV Fluid
Crystalloid: Balanced salt/electrolyte solution; for msa true solution and is capable of passing through semi permeable membranes. May be isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic. Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl), Lactated Ringer’s, Hypertonic saline (3, 5, & 7.5%), Ringer’s solution. However, hypertonic solutions are considered plasma expanders as they act to increase the circulatory volume via movement of intracellular and interstitial water into the intravascular space.
Colloid: High-molecular-weight solutions, draw fluid into intravascular compartment via on cotic pressure (pressure exerted by plasma proteins not capable of passing through membranes on capillary walls).Plasma expanders, as they are composed of macromolecules, and are retained in the intravascular space.
Free H2O solutions: provide water that is not bound by macromolecules or organelles, free to passthrough.D5W (5% dextrose in water), D10W, D20W, D50W, and Dextrose/crystalloid mixes. Blood products: whole blood, packed RBCs, FFP, Cryoprecipitate, platelets, albumin. Essentially all colloids.
IVF can supply 3 things: fluid, electrolytes, & calories. In the non stressed, fasting state, the 150g per day inD5W at 125ml/h can provide enough carbohydrate to limit proteolysis. The most common uses for IVF: Acutely expand intravascular volume in hypovolemic states correct electrolyte imbalances Maintain basal hydration
Commonly used IV Fluids
Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl): Isotonic salt water.154 mEq/L Na+; 154 mEq/L Cl-; 308mOsm/L.Cheapest and most commonly used resuscitative crystalloid. High [Cl-] above the normal serum 103mEq/L imposes on the kidneys an appreciable load of excess Cl- that cannot be rapidly excreted.
When saline is injected intravenously, it compensate the deficiency of sodium ions when dextrose is injected it gives energy due to glucose content of it when dextro-saline is given in combination, it replanishes the dehydration as well as gives energy thereby recouping debility syndrome and also in general take care of malaise.
Intravenous fluids are chemically prepared solutions that are administered to the patient. They are tailored to the body’s needs and used to replace lost fluid and/or aid in the delivery of IV medications. For patients that do not require immediate fluid or drug therapy, the continuous delivery of a small amount of IV fluid can be used to keep a vein patent (open) for future use. IV fluids come in different forms and have different impacts on the body. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of the different types of IV fluids, along with their indications for use.
How Intravenous Fluids are created
There are several types of IV fluids that have different effects on the body. Some IV fluids are designed to stay in the intravascular space (intra, within; vascular, blood vessels) to increase the intravascular volume, or volume of circulating blood. Other IV fluids are specifically designed so the fluid leaves the intravascular space and enters the interstitial and intracellular spaces. Still others are created to distribute evenly between the intravascular, interstitial, and cellular spaces. The properties that an IV solution has within the body depends on how it is created and the specific materials it contains. It also determines the best type of IV solution to use in relation to the patient’s needs.
The majority of an IV solution is sterile water. Chemically, water is referred to as a “solvent.” A solvent is a substance that dissolves other materials called “solutes.” Within IV solutions, the solutes can be molecules called electrolytes (charged particles such as sodium, potassium, and chloride) and/or other larger compounds such as proteins or molecules.
Today, a growing number of pharmaceutical manufacturers are using advanced aseptic processing technologies to minimize operator intervention and contamination risk in the filling and packaging of liquid parenteral drugs. One of these technologies is form-fill-seal (FFS), in which a polymeric material is formed and sealed inline to a container of choice, while the container is being filled.
FFS offers cost savings over conventional aseptic processing in glass. Traditional parenteral filling and packaging requires 23 steps and individual machines for filling, stoppering and capping. In contrast, FFS requires one piece of automated machinery, and takes place in six seconds or less.
The entire FFS process is performed under a class-100 laminar flow, preventing external contamination. The fully automatic, computer-controlled technology allows for filling and packaging of up to 3,00,000 bottles of IV fluid per day. Nitrogen purging options are available for sensitive formulations such as amino acids
