Overview
DESCRIPTION Each 100 mL contains: Sodium Chloride USP 0.9 g; Water for Injection USP qs pH adjusted with Hydrochloric Acid NF pH: 5.75 (4.50-7.00) Calculated Osmolarity: 308 mOsmol/liter Concentration of Electrolytes (mEq/liter): Sodium 154; Chloride 154 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic and contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents.
Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is indicated for all general irrigation, washing, rinsing and dilution purposes which permit use of a sterile, nonpyrogenic electrolyte solution.
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION As required for irrigation. When used as a diluent, or vehicle for other drugs, the drug manufacturer's recommendations should be followed. Some additives may be incompatible. Consult with pharmacist. When introducing additives, use aseptic techniques. Mix thoroughly. Do not store. Solutions should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permits.
Side Effects
ADVERSE REACTIONS Possible adverse effects arising from the irrigation of body cavities, tissues, or indwelling catheters and tubes can be minimized when proper procedures are followed. Displaced catheters or drainage tubes can lead to irrigation or infiltration of unintended structures or cavities. Excessive volume or pressure during irrigation of closed cavities may cause undue distension or disruption of tissues. Accidental contamination from careless technique may transmit infection. If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue administration of the irrigant, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
Interactions
Drug Interactions Some additives may be incompatible. Consult with pharmacist. When introducing additives, use aseptic technique. Mix thoroughly. Do not store.
Warnings
WARNINGS FOR IRRIGATION ONLY. NOT FOR INJECTION. Irrigating fluids have been demonstrated to enter the systemic circulation in relatively large volumes; thus, irrigation solutions must be regarded as systemic drugs. Absorption of large amounts can cause fluid and/or solute overload resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations, overhydration, congested states or pulmonary edema. The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the administered parenteral solutions. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentration. Do not warm above 150°F (66°C). CONTRAINDICATIONS 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is not for injection by usual parenteral routes. An electrolyte solution should not be used for irrigation during electrosurgical procedures.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP. It is also not known whether 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Storage
