About Lactated Ringers Irrigation

What is this medication?

Lactated Ringers Irrigation is a sterile, nonpyrogenic electrolyte solution designed for the topical rinsing and cleansing of body cavities, tissues, or wounds. It contains a specific combination of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride dissolved in water. Doctors and surgeons primarily use this solution during various medical procedures to wash away debris, blood, and other fluids from the operative area to ensure a clean field and maintain tissue integrity.

While it is commonly used in the operating room, it can also be utilized to irrigate burns or to wash specific organs during diagnostic tests. It is important to distinguish this product from versions of Lactated Ringers intended for intravenous use, as this irrigation version is not designed to be injected into the bloodstream. Healthcare providers choose this solution because its electrolyte balance is similar to the body's natural fluids, making it less likely to cause irritation or damage to exposed cells during the cleaning process.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Lactated Ringers Irrigation. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Aug 6, 2021

Indications and usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Lactated Ringer’s Irrigation is indicated for all general irrigation, washing and rinsing purposes which permit use of a sterile, nonpyrogenic electrolyte solution.

Dosage and administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The dose is dependent upon the capacity or surface area of the structure to be irrigated and the nature of the procedure. When used as a vehicle for other drugs, the manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed. Drug Interactions Additives may be incompatible. Consult with pharmacist, if available. When introducing additives, use aseptic technique, mix thoroughly and do not store. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution container permits. (See PRECAUTIONS .)

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS NOT FOR INJECTION BY USUAL PARENTERAL ROUTES. An electrolyte solution should not be used for irrigation during electrosurgical procedures.

Warnings

WARNINGS FOR IRRIGATION ONLY. NOT FOR INJECTION. Irrigating fluids have been demonstrated to enter the systemic circulation in relatively large volumes; thus this irrigation must be regarded as a systemic drug. Absorption of large amounts can cause fluid and/or solute overloading resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations, overhydration, congested states or pulmonary edema. The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of administered parenteral solutions. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of such solutions. Do not warm container over 150°F (66°C).

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS Possible adverse effects arising from the irrigation of body cavities, tissues, or indwelling catheters and tubes are usually avoidable when proper procedures are followed. Displaced catheters or drainage tubes can lead to irrigation or infiltration of unintended structures or cavities. Excessive volume or pressure during irrigation of closed cavities may cause undue distension or disruption of tissues. Accidental contamination from careless technique may transmit infection. Should any adverse reaction occur, discontinue the irrigant, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.

Use in pregnancy

Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Lactated Ringer’s Irrigation. It is also not known whether it can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. It should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
