5 percent dextrose (D5W) is not considered isotonic; it is classified as hypotonic. While D5W initially has an osmolarity similar to that of blood plasma, the dextrose is quickly metabolized by the body, leaving free water that dilutes the plasma and can lead to a decrease in osmotic pressure. As a result, it is often used in clinical settings to provide hydration rather than to maintain isotonicity.
A 5 percent dextrose solution contains 5 grams of dextrose (glucose) per 100 milliliters of solution. Therefore, in one liter (1000 milliliters) of a 5 percent dextrose solution, there would be 50 grams of glucose.
The abbreviation for 5 percent dextrose in water is D5W. This solution contains 5 grams of dextrose (glucose) per 100 milliliters of water, making it commonly used for hydration and as a source of calories in medical settings.

it depends on what you are trying to irrigate and what the solvent is.
.91 saline is normal saline which is isotonic. 5% dextrose is also isotonic. so the combination is still isotonic
Normal Saline Solution in 5% Dextrose or D5NSS is a hypertonic solution. It can be used for the temporary treatment of shock if plasma expanders are not available. However, do not administer this IV for clients with cardiac or renal conditions.
it called 5 % Dextrose because contains 5 gram of Dextrose / 100ml of Water (5% Dextrose in Water)
A 5 percent dextrose solution contains 5 grams of dextrose (glucose) per 100 milliliters of solution. Therefore, in one liter (1000 milliliters) of a 5 percent dextrose solution, there would be 50 grams of glucose.
A 2.5% dextrose in normal saline solution is hypertonic. Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) is isotonic, but adding dextrose increases the osmolarity, making the solution hypertonic.

A 5% dextrose solution is composed of 5 grams of dextrose (glucose) per 100 milliliters of solution. It is commonly used as a source of energy and as a mild hypertonic solution in medical settings.
