What is IV Fluid Classification: Crystalloids & Colloids about?
Thomas Graham investigated substances that could diffuse through a parchment membrane in 1861, classifying them as crystalloids or colloids. Intravenous fluids are similarly classified based on their ability to pass through capillary walls. Crystalloids are electrolyte solutions with small molecules that freely diffuse between intravenous and interstitial compartments, while colloids have large solute molecules that do not readily pass from plasma to interstitial fluid and create an osmotic pressure retaini
