🗑
Hypotonic   Action: hydrates cells; pulls fluids from vascular space into cellular space.  
🗑
Hypotonic   Indication: tx of hypertonic dehydration  
🗑
Isotonic   Action: hydrates extracellular compartment; replaces fluid volume w/o disrupting the intracellular & interstitial volumes  
🗑
Isotonic   Indication: tx of vascular dehydration; replaces sodium chloride  
🗑
Hypertonic   Action: draws fluid out of intracellular space; leading to increased extracellular volume both in vascular & interstitial space  
🗑
Hypertonic   Indication: tx of hypotonic dehydration; tx of circulatory collapse; increase fluid shift from interstitial space to vascular space.  
🗑
