Ringer's solution

 [ring´erz]
a sterile solution of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in purified water, used as a fluid and electrolyte replenisher and an irrigating physiologic salt solution. A preparation for injection is known as Ringer's injection, and one for irrigation as Ringer's irrigation. Lactated Ringer's solution includes the above compounds plus sodium lactate.

More specifically, the experiment with de-nucleated Ringer's solution resulted in joint cracking and a corresponding refractory period that was identical to that of a model employing de-nucleated distilled water.
Based on a modified multi-chemical analysis we can conclude about the physical and chemical stability in interaction of basalt scales powders and composite systems "hydroxyapatite--basalt scales" with the blood plasma and Ringer's solution and Ringer-Locke solution, that imitate the fluid of a living body.
In other words, resuscitation with Ringer's solution played a crucial role in treating septic shock and alleviating tissue perfusion.
In this study, parturients were preloaded with 500ml of lactated Ringer's solution over a period of 30 minutes and thereafter fluid infusion was maintained at the rate of 2-3ml/kg per hour.
Although the protocol using PEG 3350 balanced solution (PEG) alone did not alter any of the studied variables, the combination with lactate Ringer's solution (PEG+RL) induced minor changes like decreases of cHC[O.sup.-.sub.3] in T12h, compared to T24h, and of BE in T6h and T12h, compared to T24h.
The popular method of getting signals to hop over that gap right now uses a solution of salts called Ringer's solution that mimics body fluids.
She was preloaded with one litre of lactated Ringer's solution and premedicated with intravenous ranitidine and metoclopramide.
This discovery led to the development of Ringer's solution. Alexis Hartmann later added sodium lactate (Hartmann & Senn 1932) leading to the more physiological, although not perfect, solution in use today.
