Normal saline

  • Isotonic
  • Causes a metabolic hyperchloremic acidosis, decreasing a normal pH to 7.28 after 2L!
  • Cheapest and most widely available crystalloid

Ringer's lactate

  • Contains 28 mmol/L of lactate
  • Has no effect on acid-base status
  • Lower risk of AKI compared to normal saline when used for resuscitation

Plastmalyte

  • SPLIT cluster RCT saw no difference in AKI and ICU mortality compared to normal saline, though most patients were not particularly ill

D5W

  • Provides 170kcal/L of dextrose (3L/d can protect against protein breakdown)
  • 65% moves intracellularly
