Isotonic sodium chloride solution for infusions is administered intravenously (usually drip), subcutaneously, rectally or topically (for washing wounds, eyes, mucous membrane of the nasal cavity), to moisten the dressing.
Before administration, the solution is heated to 36-38 ° C. The dose is determined depending on the loss of body fluids, sodium ions and chlorine - an average of 1000 ml / day. With large fluid loss and severe intoxication, administration of up to 3000 ml / day is possible. The rate of administration is 540 ml / h (180 cap / min); if necessary, the rate of administration is increased.
Children with a marked decrease in blood pressure on the background of dehydration (before determining laboratory parameters) are administered 20-30 ml / kg. In the future, the dosage regimen is adjusted depending on the laboratory parameters.
