DNS

  • Salt Depletion and Hypovolemia with supply of energy
  • Vomiting, nasogastric aspiration induced alkalosis and hypochloremia along with supply of calories.

  • 1 litre of fluid contains: Glucose= 50g, Cl= 154 mEq, Na= 154 mEq

  • Plastic bottle of 250m, 500ml, 1000ml
  • Eurohead 500ml, 1000ml

  • This fluid has advantage of both 5% dextrose( to provide energy) and isotonic saline (to provide salt). As DNS increases only ECF volume, it can be considered in treatment of dehydration with hypovolemic shock.
