Detailed Descriptions:

  1. Normal Saline:
    1. When administered intravenously, the solution provides a safe replacement of water and electrolytes- sodium and chloride. Sodium is the principal cation of the extracellular fluid and plays a large part in the therapy of fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Chloride has an integral role in buffering action when oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange occurs in the red blood cells. The distribution and excretion of sodium and chloride are largely under the control of the kidney which maintains a balance between intake and output. Water is an essential constituent of all body tissues and accounts for approximately 70% of total body weight.
      1. Average normal adult daily requirements range from two to three liters (1-1.5 liters each for insensible water loss by perspiration and urine production).
  2. Lactated Ringers:
    1. Lactated Ringer’s Injection, has value as a source of water and electrolytes. It is similar to normal saline as a solution that provides a safe replacement of water and electrolytes. Similarly to Normal Saline, Lactated Ringers are composed of sodium and chloride. Additionally, it contains calcium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium lactate. 
  3. Toradol:
    1. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. It can be used to decrease the intensity of pain as well as reduce any related symptoms, such as a fever or swelling in affected areas. It works by blocking your body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. 
  4. Zofran:
    1. An antiemetic/anti nausea medication. Zofran (ondansetron) is used to treat nausea and stop vomiting.
  5. Folic Acid:
    1. Used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate and high blood levels of homocysteine. It is involved in cell division and tissue growth and essential in early pregnancy. 
  6. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):
    1. Helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. 
  7. Magnesium Sulfate:
    1. Magnesium is necessary for the movement of electrolytes (calcium, sodium, and potassium) into and out of cells. 
  8. Cyanocobalamin (B12):
    1. Maintains health of metabolism, blood cells and nerves.
  9. Calcium Gluconate:
    1. Calcium is necessary for proper function of the nerves, muscular, and skeletal systems and cell membrane and capillary permeability. It is essential in the transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles; respiration; blood coagulation; and renal function.
  10. Arginine:
    1. L-arginine is an amino acid that helps your body produce proteins. It supports blood flow, athletic performance, and recovery during critical illness. 
  11. L-Carnitine:
    1. Carnitine is necessary for normal fat utilization and energy metabolism. It facilitates entry of long- chain fatty acids into cellular mitochondria, where they are used during oxidation and energy production. 
  12. Zinc:
    1. Zinc aids in tissue health, immunity, and reduction of inflammation.
  13. B-Complex
    1. The vitamins that make up B complex are Thiamine (vitamin B1), Riboflavin (vitamin B2), Niacinamide (vitamin B3), Dexpanthenol, Pyridoxine (vitamin B6).
  14. Decadron (Dexamethasone)
    1. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, is similar to a natural hormone produced by your adrenal glands.It relieves inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, and pain) and is used to treat certain forms of arthritis; skin, blood, kidney, eye, thyroid, and intestinal disorders (e.g., colitis); severe allergies; and asthma. 
  15. Multivitamin Infusion:
    1. Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin D (Ergocalciferol), Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Pyridoxine (B6), Vitamin K, Niacinamide, Dexpanthenol (B5), Vitamin E, Biotin, Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin (B12)
      1. Thiamine(B1): Used to boost the immune system, improve energy levels, and decrease inflammation.
      2. B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Maintains health of metabolism, blood cells and nerves.
      3. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. 
      4. Vitamin A (Retinol): Important for vision, the immune system, reproduction, and normal growth and development.
      5. Vitamin D (Ergocalciferol): Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity. 
      6. Riboflavin (B2): Produces energy for the body and is an antioxidant that fights free radicals.
      7. Pyridoxine (B6): Important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy.
      8. Vitamin K: Helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and building bones.
