Hartmann's solution or compound sodium lactate is a crystalloid solution that is most closely isotonic with blood and intended for intravenous administration. Hartmann's IV Infusion is used to replace body fluid and mineral salts that may be lost for a variety of medical reasons. Hartmann's IV Infusion is especially suitable when the losses result in too much acid being present in the blood. Hartmann's solution is abbreviated as "CSL". It is very similar—though not identical to—lactated Ringer's solution, the ionic concentrations of which differ.

Famous quotes containing the word solution:
“What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
