• INDICATIONS AND USAGE Normosol-R pH 7.4 is indicated for replacement of acute extracellular fluid volume losses in surgery, trauma, burns or shock. Normosol-R pH 7.4 also can be used as an adjunct to restore a decrease in circulatory volume in patients with moderate blood loss. Normosol-R pH 7.4 is not intended to supplant transfusion of whole blood or packed red cells in the presence of uncontrolled hemorrhage or severe reductions of red cell volume. Normosol-R pH 7.4 is particularly valuable as a solution for use in starting blood, i.e., as a priming solution for the infusion set. No hemolysis of blood is seen at the interface or with mixed solution and blood. It may also be used as a diluent to aid in the transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC). Normosol-R pH 7.4 and physiologic saline solution (0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP) are compatible with both young and old PRBC.
