Fluid Replacement: IV saline is used to replenish fluids and maintain hydration in patients who are dehydrated due to conditions such as vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, fever, or inadequate fluid intake. It helps restore fluid volume and prevent or correct dehydration-related complications.
Electrolyte Balance: In addition to water, IV saline contains electrolytes, primarily sodium and chloride ions. It helps restore electrolyte balance in patients with electrolyte disturbances, such as hyponatremia (low sodium levels) or hypochloremia (low chloride levels), often accompanying dehydration or certain medical conditions.
Administration of Medications: IV saline serves as a vehicle for administering medications, allowing for rapid and reliable delivery directly into the bloodstream. Medications commonly diluted or mixed with IV saline include antibiotics, pain relievers, antiemetics, antihypertensives, and chemotherapy drugs, among others.
Fluid Resuscitation: IV saline is used for fluid resuscitation in critically ill or injured patients, such as those with severe trauma, sepsis, hemorrhage, or shock. It helps stabilize hemodynamic parameters, maintain blood pressure, and improve tissue perfusion until the underlying cause can be addressed.
Surgical and Procedural Support: IV saline is often administered perioperatively during surgeries and medical procedures to maintain intravascular volume, support hemodynamic stability, and facilitate anesthesia delivery. It may be used as a carrier fluid for blood transfusions or contrast agents in imaging studies.
Hydration Therapy: IV saline may be used prophylactically or therapeutically to ensure adequate hydration in patients who cannot tolerate oral fluids, such as those with severe nausea, vomiting, or impaired gastrointestinal function. It is also utilized in preoperative fasting protocols to prevent dehydration before surgery.
Dilution of Medications: IV saline is commonly used to dilute concentrated medications or solutions before administration, particularly in cases where precise dosing or controlled infusion rates are required. This practice helps minimize the risk of medication errors and ensures safe delivery to the patient.
Management of Hypernatremia: In some cases, IV saline may be used to manage hypernatremia (high sodium levels) by promoting urinary excretion of sodium and restoring normal serum sodium concentrations. However, the rate and volume of IV saline administration must be carefully controlled to avoid exacerbating electrolyte imbalances.
Maintenance Fluid Therapy: IV saline may be prescribed as part of maintenance fluid therapy regimens for hospitalized patients who require ongoing fluid support, such as those with chronic illnesses, postoperative recovery, or restricted oral intake. The composition and rate of IV fluid administration are tailored to individual patient needs and clinical goals.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
