    Lactated Ringer's solution is used to replace fluid and electrolytes. It is a hypertonic, nonpyrogenic parenteral fluid that contains sodium, potassium, calcium and lactate. It works by pulling fluid into the vascular system through osmosis. Common side effects include itching, hives and swelling. It should be used with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, diabetes, or conditions causing electrolyte imbalances. Nurses must properly administer and monitor the IV fluid for signs of fluid overload or imbalance.
