Talk:Ringer's lactate solution

message: I just removed the link from the ref and veterinary use section. The link was not valid anymore. The page may still exist at a different url, but I don't have time to lookright now.

message: This phrase:
:total fluid volumes are greater in athletic individuals than in obese people of the same weight
Seems vague. It implies that athletic and obese are mutually exclusive opposites. I think it should be changed, but not being familiar with the subject matter, I'm not sure whether 'athletic/sedentary' or 'muscular/high fat' or something else? Anchoress 01:24, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not involved with this page but the wording seems quite good to me.  Since the contrast is between two individuals of the same weight, one with a high muscle composition and the other with a high fat proportion, athletic and obese makes it quite clear.  To my mind, clearer than sedentary which describes a lifestyle, not a body mass proportion.  And high-fat is just silly when obese is clear.  Steve Rapaport (talk) 10:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Values per litre, given by Baxter Healthcare Ltd for their product "Compound Sodium Lactate Intravenous Infusion BP (Hartmann's Solution)":
Sodium  131 mmol
Potassium 5 mmol
Calcium 2 mmol
Chloride 111 mmol
Lactate 29 mmol
So, as you say, not quite the same as Lactated Ringer's although widely regarded as the same thing.  Interesting medical-cultural difference between US and UK (or is it US and Europe?).  How did this arise - is it solely because the British Pharmacopoeia came up with a specification?  Any clinical significance, do you think? Moletrouser 09:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This is obviously from personal experience.  Anyone who has worked in an ER/ED knows that paitents often do "silly" things, much to the chagrin of the staff.  This is an example, which is quite typical.  It's one of those "What the hell is he doing?!" moments.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.126.103 (talk) 16:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Oppose - I'm not sure why the IP editor suggested it, but while Ringer's lactate solution is a type of Ringer's solution, its health-care importance is sufficient to justify a stand-alone article.  Conversely, not all Ringer's solutions include lactate, so it would make no sense to merge that article into this one. HCA (talk) 21:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

message: What's the standard for capitalizing Ringer's lactated / lactated Ringer's? We capitalize it as "Ringer's lactate" in the title of the article, but under Formulations it says "lactated ringers". The R in Ringer's should definitely be capitalized since it's the name of Sydney Ringer, but should the l in lactated or lactate be capitalized? Is it the first word in a proper name or an adjective that should not be capitalized? 199.204.56.212 (talk) 15:58, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
