  • Severe dehydration in the normal acid-base balance;
  • Hypovolemia;
  • Weak acidosis;
  • To compensate for water deficiency and electrolytes (due to diarrhea, burns, vomiting, peritonitis and other severe infections);

Release form

The form of the preparation - glass bottles of 500 ml and 1000 ml. The composition of the drug includes calcium chloride, a solution of sodium lactate, potassium chloride, hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride and water for injection.

Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics Hartman solution is the active substance of the drug and the processes that occur with them after ingestion. In its osmolarity and composition, Hartman's solution refers to extracellular fluid. This is why the drug is used to recover electrolytes and liquids. Another purpose of the drug is the regulation of the acid-base balance.

Hartmann's solution works much more efficiently than the infusion solution of sodium chloride. The drug provides compensation for the most important cations for the human body in the extracellular fluid - (K +  Na + Ca 2+ ). The active substance of the drug is lactate, it is metabolized in the body to bicarbonate. Hartman's solution has an alkalizing effect.

Pharmacokinetics

Hartman's pharmacokinetics are solutions for the introduction, spread, metabolism and excretion of the drug. After an internal drip, Hartman's solution very quickly increases blood osmolarity. The drug does not stay in the blood for a long time, and after 30-40 minutes it goes into the tissues. The components of the drug are excreted in the urine.

Infusion Hartman solution has a beneficial effect on the body. The drug is practically not metabolized, therefore does not affect the functioning of the body's systems. As a rule, the drug is used for inpatient treatment, observing the patient's condition at the time of drug administration.
