#1 Hospital-Preferred Balanced Electrolyte IV Solution for Fluid Resuscitation, Volume Replacement, and Critical Care
Trusted by leading hospitals, emergency rooms, surgery centers, and clinicians nationwide for safe, effective IV hydration and electrolyte therapy.
Plasma-Lyte A Injection pH 7.4 (Multiple Electrolytes Injection, Type 1, USP) is a state-of-the-art, sterile, isotonic IV solution meticulously formulated to closely match the body’s plasma electrolyte composition. Manufactured by Baxter IV Systems, Plasma-Lyte A is the premium choice for intravenous fluid resuscitation, rehydration, and electrolyte balance in acute care, OR, ICU, and emergency medicine settings.
Each 1000 mL IV bag delivers optimal concentrations of sodium, potassium, magnesium, acetate, gluconate, and chloride—supporting physiological electrolyte homeostasis and rapid plasma volume expansion. Its buffered pH 7.4 formulation provides advanced stability, minimization of acid-base imbalances, and osmolarity nearly identical to normal plasma.
Key Features & Benefits
- Balanced Electrolyte Composition: Replicates human plasma for superior compatibility and physiologic support.
- pH 7.4 Buffer System: Optimally buffered for acid-base stability during infusion; ideal for critical care and surgical patients.
- Sterile & Nonpyrogenic: Single-dose, latex-free, PVC-free IV bags ensure highest standards of patient safety and sterility.
- Volume Replacement & Fluid Resuscitation: Perfect for initial volume expansion in trauma, burn care, shock, and perioperative fluid management.
- Electrolyte Repletion: Rapidly corrects sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride deficits in hypovolemia, dehydration, and acute illness.
- Isotonic Solution: 294 mOsmol/L—closely matches body fluids, reducing risk of fluid shifts and cellular edema.
- Flexible, Ready-to-Use Bags: 1000 mL size for convenience and bulk supply; easy hang and spike for fast IV delivery.
- No Dextrose or Lactate: Excellent for patients with lactate intolerance or glycemic management concerns.
Clinical Uses & Indications
- Acute Fluid Resuscitation: First-line for trauma, burn injuries, hemorrhage, and shock to rapidly restore intravascular volume.
- Perioperative Hydration: Ideal IV fluid replacement for anesthesia, pre- and post-operative care, and surgical procedures.
- Electrolyte Replacement: Corrects deficits in sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, acetate, and gluconate for patients with dehydration, GI losses, or metabolic derangements.
- Critical & Intensive Care: Preferred choice in ICU, emergency departments, and for patients requiring large-volume infusions.
- General Intravenous Fluid Therapy: Suitable for adults and children when indicated by clinician.

FAQ
What patients benefit from Plasma-Lyte A? Adults and pediatric patients requiring rapid fluid resuscitation, emergency rehydration, electrolyte correction, or perioperative IV maintenance.
How does Plasma-Lyte A compare to normal saline or Lactated Ringer’s? Plasma-Lyte A provides a more physiologic electrolyte balance and does not contain calcium or lactate, making it ideal for many surgical, trauma, and metabolic cases.
Can this be used in renal or hepatic dysfunction? Consult hospital guidelines. Plasma-Lyte A may be preferable where lactate metabolism is impaired.
