What Experts Say

Plasaline is normal saline, a solution of sodium chloride dissolved in water at a concentration close to that of blood plasma. Once infused into a vein, it stays mostly within the bloodstream and surrounding tissue, expanding circulating volume and replacing lost sodium and chloride.

Doctors use this infusion for dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, heat exposure, or blood loss, and for diluting or delivering other intravenous medicines. It also flushes the bladder after certain surgeries and keeps an IV line open between treatments. The rate and volume given depend on fluid status, kidney function, and heart condition.

Heatstroke, severe diarrhea, and dehydration from extreme summer temperatures send many patients to emergency departments needing urgent IV fluids, particularly outdoor laborers and young children. This infusion is given only by trained staff in a hospital or clinic setting, since the wrong rate or volume can strain the heart or lungs in patients with existing heart or kidney disease.
