Normal Saline for IV Hydration: Experiences and Concerns with Sodium Chloride 0.9% Inj, 1000ml
I've been given Sodium Chloride 0.9% Injection (normal saline) a few times during surgeries and illness. It's supposed to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes, but I've seen some side effects (like injection site pain). Has anyone else had similar experiences? It seems like a lifesaver, but what if there's a risk worse than your actual symptoms? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this
