Lactated Ringer's solution

Lactated Ringer's solution is a type of fluid used in medical settings, particularly for patients who need rehydration or electrolyte balance. It contains water, salts (like sodium and potassium), and lactate, which helps maintain a stable pH in the body. This solution is often administered through an intravenous (IV) line to treat dehydration, especially after surgery or trauma, and to replace lost fluids and electrolytes. It's beneficial because it closely resembles the natural balance of fluids in the body, making it an effective choice for medical care.
