How many Ounces in IV fluid bag?

IV fluid bags typically contain 1000 milliliters or one liter of fluid, which is equivalent to approximately 33.8 ounces.


A hospital patient is given 500 cc of saline by IV If the saline is received at a rate of 4.0 mLmin how long will it take for the half liter to run out?

It will take 125 minutes for the half liter of saline to run out, as 500 cc is equal to 500 mL. Given that the saline is administered at a rate of 4.0 mL/min, you divide 500 mL by 4.0 mL/min to get 125 minutes.


Why can you have Edema after an IV?

You give IV fluid to the patient. Generally there are two types of fluids. IV normal saline or Ringer's lactate and 5 % dextrose. All of them have same osmotic pressure as the body fluid has got. But the dextrose is rapidly used by body to give you plane water. So the normal saline and Ringer's lactate solution is distributed across the extracellular compartment. Dextrose, that means plane water is distributed across the whole body fluid. Normal adult has got 14 liters of extracellular fluid and 28 liters of fluid inside the cells. You have the fluid in the body till kidneys excrete the same. Respective fluid spreads across the respective cellular compartment. It gives you edema.
