The effect and efficacy of sodium lactate Ringer injection
Sodium lactate Ringer injection belongs to the crystalline compound electrolyte solution and has an irreplaceable regulatory effect in clinical treatment. The solution contains 3.10 grams of sodium lactate, 6.00 grams of sodium chloride, 0.30 grams of potassium chloride, and 0.20 grams of calcium chloride per liter. The pH value is adjusted to the range of 6.0-7.5 and maintained in an isotonic state with human plasma osmotic pressure. Its electrolyte ratio simulates the extracellular fluid environment, with a sodium ion concentration of 130mmol/L lower than physiological saline, which is more in line with human physiological needs.
In terms of correcting electrolyte imbalances, sodium ions in the solution can effectively replenish blood volume and improve hyponatremia caused by diarrhea and vomiting. A potassium ion concentration of 4mmol/L can help prevent hypokalemia, especially for patients who have been fasting for a long time. Calcium ions at 2.7mmol/L can regulate neuromuscular excitability and have an antagonistic effect on citrate poisoning after massive blood transfusion. Sodium lactate is metabolized by the liver and converted into bicarbonate, which can gradually correct metabolic acidosis and avoid adverse reactions caused by rapid acid correction.
The clinical application scenarios mainly focus on the perioperative period of surgery, as the preferred crystalloid fluid for fluid resuscitation. Early use of plasma like fluid can supplement wound exudate in burn patients, while the use of colloidal fluid in shock patients can maintain effective circulating blood volume. For patients with diabetes ketoacidosis, this solution is preferred at the initial stage of insulin treatment, and its low chloride property is helpful to prevent hyperchlorinated acidosis. When used in obstetrics to dilute oxytocin, it can reduce the risk of water poisoning.
The infusion rate of the solution needs to be strictly controlled. The standard dose for adults is 500-1000ml per hour, and for children it is calculated at 20ml/kg. Patients with heart failure need to monitor central venous pressure to prevent circulatory overload. Patients with renal dysfunction are at high risk of potassium, and should discontinue use when urine output is less than 0.5ml/kg/h. During the infusion process, regular blood gas analysis and electrolyte levels should be monitored, especially if used continuously for more than 24 hours.
In terms of drug interactions, mixing with bicarbonate containing solutions can result in precipitation, requiring intermittent infusion and flushing of the infusion tubing. When used in combination with cardiac glycosides, calcium ions in the solution may enhance the toxicity of digitalis. The stability of cephalosporin antibiotics decreases in this solution, and it is recommended to use other solvents instead. When patients are receiving potassium sparing diuretic treatment, they should be alert to the cumulative effects of hyperkalemia.
There are differences in usage among special populations. Pregnant women have a 40% increase in blood volume, and the infusion rate should be controlled at 2-3ml per minute. The electrolyte concentration in the breast milk of lactating mothers may temporarily change, and it is recommended to breastfeed every 4 hours after infusion. The glomerular filtration rate of elderly patients decreases, and the daily total should be reduced by 20% -30%. Individuals with abnormal liver function have reduced ability to metabolize lactate, which may lead to lactate accumulation and require monitoring of blood lactate levels.
Adverse reactions include an incidence of local phlebitis of about 3%, which can be reduced by choosing large vein puncture. When excessive infusion leads to edema, furosemide 20-40mg can be administered intravenously. Rare allergic reactions are often related to antioxidants in rubber stoppers. When manifested as urticaria, the medication should be immediately stopped and dexamethasone 5mg should be given. In the treatment plan for electrolyte monitoring abnormalities, 10ml of calcium gluconate should be given to counteract when blood potassium is greater than 5.5mmol/L.
Storage conditions require a cool and dark environment, with a temperature not exceeding 25 ℃. Freezing and thawing may result in crystal precipitation, which should be discarded and not used. Soft bag packaging prevents sharp objects from piercing, and upright storage reduces the risk of interface contamination. After activation, it should be used up within 4 hours. Exceeding the time limit may breed pyrogenic substances.
In trauma treatment, the solution can effectively maintain coagulation function when infused with whole blood in a ratio of 3:1. Compared to artificial colloids such as hydroxyethyl starch, the risk of kidney function damage is reduced by 60%. The new improved formula adds 1.5mmol/L magnesium ions, which is more in line with the latest trauma resuscitation guidelines. For patients with traumatic brain injury, the use of mannitol can prevent secondary cerebral edema.
The key points of quality monitoring include regular detection of aluminum residue, and the concentration of aluminum in the solution should be less than 25 μ g/L. The control of particulate pollution adopts terminal filters with a pore size not exceeding 5 μ m. Before clinical application, visual inspection of clarity is required, and if flocculent substances are found, they should be immediately discontinued. The production batch number and sterilization date need to be double checked by two people to ensure that the product is within its expiration date.
The treatment monitoring indicators include hourly urine output, blood pressure fluctuations, and degree of improvement in skin elasticity. Maintaining central venous pressure at 8-12 cmH2O indicates adequate fluid replacement. Continuous increase in blood lactate levels may indicate insufficient tissue perfusion and require adjustment of treatment plans. Dynamically monitor blood chlorine concentration to prevent high chloride metabolic acidosis.
In the field of pediatric applications, the dosage for newborns is precise to 15-20ml per kilogram of body weight, and the infusion rate is controlled using a micro pump. Premature infants have incomplete sodium excretion function, with a daily total dose not exceeding 50ml/kg. During infusion in children with congenital heart disease, pulmonary artery wedge pressure should be monitored simultaneously to prevent the occurrence of pulmonary edema.
This solution has strategic reserve value in disaster medicine and is suitable for outdoor emergency environments due to its room temperature preservation characteristics. When used in conjunction with oral rehydration salts, a graded rehydration system can be constructed. Combining physical cooling measures can quickly restore water electrolyte balance during the treatment of heatstroke caused by high temperatures. For patients with chemical poisoning, high-dose infusion can promote the excretion of toxins.
The latest research shows that the improved formula with added pyruvate can enhance antioxidant effects and is suitable for sepsis patients. The particle size of electrolyte solutions prepared by nanotechnology is controlled below 100nm, resulting in a 30% increase in bioavailability. The intelligent infusion system can automatically adjust the infusion speed based on real-time blood gas analysis data, achieving precise liquid therapy.
The quality control standards shall comply with the provisions of Part II of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and the physical examination shall include colorless and clear liquid and no foreign matter. The detection of osmotic pressure molar concentration adopts the freezing point descent method, with a range of 280310mOsmol/kg. The bacterial endotoxin test should have a content of less than 0.50EU per 1ml. Sterility testing is performed by culturing for 14 days using membrane filtration method.
In traditional Chinese medicine combination therapy, the combination with Shengmai Injection can improve microcirculation disorders. Acupuncture and moxibustion at Zusanli point can enhance the absorption efficiency of electrolytes in the intestine. Tuina therapy promotes local blood circulation and accelerates the resolution of edema. Applying traditional Chinese medicine to the Shenque acupoint combined with intravenous therapy can shorten the time for stopping diarrhea by 2 hours.
Misunderstandings in clinical use include misuse in patients with hyperlipidemia, which may exacerbate metabolic disorders. Heating the solution to body temperature may disrupt electrolyte balance and should be strictly prohibited. Sharing the infusion line with fat emulsion may form lipid emboli and must be administered intermittently. Mistakenly believing that the solution can completely replace blood transfusion, ignoring the red blood cell transfusion indication when the blood red

protein is below 70g/L.
The future development direction focuses on personalized formulas, adjusting electrolyte ratios through real-time detection technology. Biodegradable packaging materials reduce medical waste pollution, with a degradation cycle controlled within 180 days. Adding trauma repair factors such as epidermal growth factor to expand its application in wound healing.
