I ment Normal Saline and Lactate Ringers Solution are ok to use SubQ....Lactated Ringer's solution is five percent dextrose while the plain LR, as the name implies, is plain.. without dextrose and even though it has dextrose in it 5% in a 1000ml bag is diluted and can be giving SubQ. Its not normally done in ppl bc its I would think easier to get a IV on a person but can be giving SuqQ if needed..
