Crystalloid Fluids - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf A crystalloid fluid is an aqueous solution of mineral salts and other small, water-soluble molecules Most commercially available crystalloid solutions are isotonic to human plasma These fluids approximate concentrations of various solutes found in plasma and do not exert an osmotic effect in vivo
IV Fluids and Solutions Guide Cheat Sheet - Nurseslabs Crystalloid IV solutions contain small molecules that flow easily across semipermeable membranes They are categorized according to their relative tonicity in relation to plasma
Colloids versus Crystalloids IV Fluids Nursing In this review, we will cover colloid solutions vs crystalloid solutions Both of these are solutions that are administered to the intravascular space and expand the plasma volume
