what percentage is the tonicity of the medically administered intravenous solutions? what would happen if the tonicity gets lowers than or higher than 0.9 %
The Infusion Nurses Society (INS) classifies a solution as isotonic if its tonicity falls within (or near) the normal range for blood serum-between 280 and 300 mOsm/liter. A hypotonic solution has an osmolarity less than 280 mOsm/liter, and a hypertonic solution has an osmolarity greater than 300 mOsm/liter.
