Isotonic sodium chloride solution for infusion is administered intravenously (usually drip), subcutaneously, rectally or topically (to rinse wounds, eyes,mucous membrane of the nasal cavity), for moistening the dressing material.
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 the laboratory parameters) are administered 20-30 ml / kg. In the future, the dosage regimen is adjusted depending on the laboratory parameters.
