Once used, cannot sodium lactate Ringer be stopped?
1. Basic principles and scope of application of liquid therapy
Sodium lactate Ringer injection is one of the commonly used crystal solutions in clinical practice, with a composition ratio close to the human plasma electrolyte environment.
. It is mainly used to treat insufficient circulating blood caused by trauma, burns, surgery, etc., or to correct mild electrolyte imbalances caused by diarrhea and vomiting. In clinical application, it is necessary to strictly follow the guidance in the Clinical Fluid Therapy Guidelines and dynamically adjust the treatment plan based on the patient's blood biochemical indicators.
The initiation decision of intravenous infusion is usually based on three core indicators: blood pressure fluctuation range, hourly urine volume trend, and arterial blood gas analysis results. When patients exhibit persistent volume deficit symptoms (such as systolic blood pressure below 90mmHg and response to fluid replacement), infusion of such solutions can be used as the initial choice for fluid resuscitation. But during the infusion process, regular assessments must be performed, recording changes in input and output at least every 2 hours, and retesting electrolyte levels every 4-6 hours.
2. Medication discontinuation indications and clinical decision-making pathways
The timing of discontinuing infusion is related to various clinical parameters. When the patient's urine output returns to above 0.5mL/kg/h and remains stable for 4 hours, and the central venous pressure returns to the range of 8-12 cmH2O, it indicates that the effective circulating blood volume has been appropriately replenished. At this point, the infusion rate should be gradually reduced instead of abruptly interrupting the medication. For elderly patients or those with heart failure, the deceleration adjustment range should be controlled within a reduction of no more than 20% of the total amount per hour.
In special circumstances, it is necessary to immediately adjust the treatment plan. If the serum sodium concentration of the patient exceeds 145mmol/L or the chloride ion exceeds the warning line of 110mmol/L, regardless of the blood volume status, electrolyte containing fluids must be discontinued. In this case, clinical physicians will prioritize switching to hypotonic solutions and using diuretics to accelerate the elimination of excess electrolytes.
3. Management strategies for the transition period of treatment
The downscaling transition of liquid therapy requires systematic planning. When it is determined that the dose can be reduced, first reduce the infusion rate to 50% of the initial rate and continue to observe the stability of vital signs for 2 hours. At the same time, switch to the oral rehydration salt (ORS) regimen and gradually increase the proportion of oral intake according to the patient's gastrointestinal tolerance. This transition period usually lasts for 12-24 hours and requires confidentiality.

Monitor weight fluctuations and ideally control daily changes within 0.5kg. For cases undergoing major surgery, fluid balance management within 48 hours after surgery is particularly important. At this point, it is necessary to avoid tissue edema caused by fluid overload and to prevent organ perfusion insufficiency caused by secondary volume deficiency. Clinical teams often use dynamic indicators such as pulse pressure variability (PPV) or stroke volume variability (SVV) as decision support parameters, combined with bedside ultrasound to evaluate changes in inferior vena cava diameter.
4. Individualized treatment for special populations
Liquid management for pediatric patients requires extra caution. According to the World Health Organization's "Guidelines for the Treatment of Diarrhea in Children", the fluid maintenance dose for infants and young children under 1 year old should be precise to 100-150mL per kilogram of body weight per day. When administering sodium lactate Ringer, the infusion rate should not exceed 10mL/kg per hour, and the total usage time should not exceed 24 hours in principle. If the treatment period needs to be extended, blood glucose and ionized calcium levels must be monitored simultaneously.
The physiological changes in pregnant women pose special challenges. In late pregnancy, the blood volume increases by 40-50% compared to non pregnancy, but the total red blood cell count only increases by 20%. This physiological dilution state can easily mask the true volume deficiency. In this case, in addition to routine testing indicators, it is also necessary to combine the results of uterine placental blood flow Doppler monitoring to avoid the risk of preeclampsia caused by excessive fluid replacement.
5. Analysis of Common Issues of Patient Concern
The core concern of most patients is focused on the duration of treatment. According to clinical research data published by JAMA, the median postoperative fluid replacement time for patients undergoing elective surgery is 18 hours. However, the specific duration is influenced by multiple factors such as the type of surgery (such as gastrointestinal surgery requiring longer adjustment time), intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative intestinal function recovery speed. It should be noted that continuous infusion for more than 72 hours may cause electrolyte accumulation, and the liquid treatment plan must be re evaluated at this time.
The possible residual effects after treatment require professional guidance. About 15-20% of patients will experience transient thirst after discontinuation, which is a normal regulatory phenomenon of the body's response to changes in plasma osmotic pressure. It is recommended to drink an appropriate amount of water (20002500mL per day) within 48 hours after stopping the infusion, but it is important to avoid consuming large amounts of purified water in a short period of time, which can lead to dilutive hyponatremia.
In clinical practice, liquid therapy is an art of dynamic adjustment rather than a fixed procedure. Every decision requires the integration of real-time physiological data, underlying disease status, and treatment response from patients. Thank you to Baidu Wenku for bringing us here.
