Dosage
9.00 g
The amount of fluid depends
on the clinical condition.
Overdosage
Overdosage during wound irrigation and intra-operative application can lead to absorption of irrigation fluid, that
can lead to hypervolaemia in
the form of hypotonic hyperhydration (hyponatraemia).
Headache, nausea, restlessness and disorientation are
symptoms of hyperhydration.
In severe cases coma-like
states can occur.
Countermeasures in cases of
overdosage
Discontinuation of irrigation,
correction of the water and
electrolyte balance depending on the particular clinical
situation.
Warnings and precautions
Do not use for infusion.
Only use the solution if the
seal is undamaged and the
solution is clear.
Opened containers must not
be saved, quantities left over
must be discarded. Re-use
of single-use devices creates
a potential risk of patient or
user. It may lead to contamination and/or impairment of
functional capability. Contamination and/or limited functionality of the device may
lead to injury, illness or death
of the patient.
Store out of reach of children.
When there is a risk of absorption of larger amounts of the
solution, as may be the case
when using it in large body
cavities or large wound surfaces, it should not be used
in patients in states of hyperhydration. Under those conditions it should be used with
caution in patients with
– Hypertonic dehydration,
– Hypokalaemia,
– Hypernatraemia,
– Hyperchloraemia,
– Disorders where restriction
of sodium intake is indicated, such as cardiac insufficiency, generalised oedema,
pulmonary oedema, hypertension, eclampsia, severe
renal insufficiency.
NaCl 0,9% B. Braun must not
be used for intrathecal irrigation procedures.
Adverse side effects
