Lactated Ringer's solution is contraindicated in

Lactated Ringer's solution is contraindicated in Correct Answer Lactic acidosis

Explanation:

  • It is also known as the Hartmann solution.
  • Lactated Ringer or RL is used to replace water and electrolyte loss in patients with low blood volume or low blood pressure.
  • Its main constituents are calcium chloride; potassium chloride and sodium chloride.

Important Points Ringer Lactate is given intravenously for:

  • Treat dehydration
  • Restore body fluids following severe depletion of body fluids due to severe burn.
  • Restore body fluids in a hospitalized patient who is unable to keep fluids down.
  • Maintaining the patency of IV line
  • Administer medication
  • Patients with sepsis, and respiratory acidosis in whom the acid-base imbalance is common.

 Key Points

  • Lactate in RL reduces acidity as it gets converted into bicarbonate, which is a base element that helps regulate the body's pH balance.
  • However, it is contraindicated in case of:
    • Kidney Failure because of their inability to 
    • Blood pH greater than 7.5
    • Lactic Acidosis (Hence option 3 is correct)
    • Liver disease

A chemical solution appears green when the salt concentration is 8 grams per litre (gpl) and red when it is 10 gpl. Pure water was added to the solution of 1 litre of 15 gpl solution till it turned green. Then 125 ml of the green solution is taken out and x grams of salt is added to the green solution to make it red. Another 500 ml of the final solution was taken out and y litres of green solution is added to get a resultant solution of concentration 9.6 gpl.  Assume adding salt doesn’t change its volume and find the ratio of x and y.
