1. What is Glucosalino Braun 5% solution for perfusion and what is it used for
Glucosalino Braun 5% is a perfusion solution that contains the same amount of sodium and chloride as plasma, and also contains 5% glucose.
Glucosalino Braun 5% is mainly used to replace water and electrolytes (substances with electric charge found in blood and other bodily fluids, such as sodium, potassium, and chlorides), when these are decreased as a result of different alterations or disorders such as excessive water loss (dehydration) and chloride. It is also used to meet energy needs, since glucose is the main source of this for the body.
Glucosalino Braun 5% is also used as a transport solution for other compatible medications.
2. Before using Glucosalino Braun 5% solution for infusion
No use Glucosalino Braun 5% solution for perfusion:
-If you are allergic to the active ingredients or any of the other components of Glucosalino Braun 5%.
-In states of hyperhydration (overload of fluid).
-In situations of generalized edema (accumulation of fluid in body tissues) or ascitic cirrhosis (chronic progressive liver disease with fluid accumulation).
-In states of hyperglycemia (increase in blood glucose level).
-In states of hypokalemia (decrease in potassium in blood).
-In states of hyponatremia (decrease in sodium in blood).
-In states of hypochloremia (decrease in chloride in blood).
-In states of hyperosmolar coma (loss of consciousness due to an increase in blood salt concentration).
-In states of hyperlactacidemia (presence of lactic acid in blood).
-In severe cases of heart, liver, or renal insufficiency.

-Your blood glucose level will be carefully determined if you have intracranial hypertension.
-If you have had an acute ischemic stroke (sudden appearance of blood flow deficiency), this medication should not be administered to you.
-If you are administered this medication for a prolonged period, it is recommended to add potassium to the solution as a safety measure.
