Hartmann's solution

Hartmann's solution is a type of intravenous fluid used in medicine to help maintain or restore the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body. It contains a mix of salts like sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and bicarbonate, similar to the fluids found naturally in the body’s blood and tissues. This solution is often given to patients who are dehydrated, having lost fluids due to illness, or preparing for surgery. It helps ensure the body's cells and organs function properly by restoring normal fluid levels and maintaining the correct electrical balance.
