it means 5% dextrose in 0.45% saline. This is a hypertonic solution and useful to treat hypovolemia and hyponatremia.

it depends on what you are trying to irrigate and what the solvent is.
If the percents given are by weight or mass, this is very straightforward: The ratio between the desired percentage and the initial percentage is 1/50. Therefore, a given mass of initial solution must be diluted to 50 times its original mass to obtain the desired lower concentration, or in other words, 49 parts of diluent must be mixed with each part of initial solution. If the percents involve volume measurements, it would be necessary to take into account and change in density occasioned by the dilution.
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.
Hypertonic dextrose 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.
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.
Yes. Dextrose is the main contributor of osmolarity in a parenteral nutrition solution.
D5W is hypertonic to solutions containing less than 5% dextrose.
50 ml
To prepare 100 ml of a 5% dextrose solution from a 50% dextrose solution, you would use the formula: C1V1 = C2V2. You will need 10 ml of the 50% solution (C1) and dilute it with 90 ml of water (V1) to obtain the desired 100 ml of 5% dextrose solution.
Saline solution with a highter concentration the 0.9% are hypertonic as are soutions that contain 10% dextrose. Combinations of hypertonic solutions are 0.9% NACl with 5% Dextrose or higher. These solutions when given IV will draw fluid out of the cells or intersticial tissues and into the blood stream then ideally will be forced through the kidneys into the urine for evacuation. If a person has overhydration, or edema a hypertonic solution may be used to draw it out.

There are 50 grams of dextrose in a 100 ml solution of dextrose 50%.
