In this review, I will discuss hypotonic IV (intravenous) solutions. Hypotonic IV solutions have a lower osmolarity than blood, meaning they have a lower concentration of solutes within the fluid being administered than the blood. Due to this, osmosis causes water to move from the extracellular space into the intracellular space, which can lead to […]
