Compound Sodium Lactate, also known as Ringer’s Lactate (RL), is used for fluid resuscitation, electrolyte replacement, and treatment of metabolic acidosis. It is commonly administered to patients suffering from severe dehydration, burns, trauma, hemorrhagic shock, and surgical fluid loss to restore volume and stabilize acid-base balance.
Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), and Calcium (Ca2+) restore electrolyte levels in the blood. Lactate (C3H5O3-) is converted into bicarbonate by the liver, helping correct metabolic acidosis. The solution maintains osmotic balance, preventing hypotension and circulatory collapse.
