Pharmacy/Quality Control
Quality Control: Osmolality is a rapid and accurate QC measurement for pharmaceutical preparations, including infant formulas, electrolyte solutions and other parenterals.
Cardioplegic Fluids: The osmolality of these mixtures is important, as they are used to stop the heart for bypass surgery.
Contrast Agents: Monitoring the osmolality of low and high osmolal agents can help in preventing adverse patient reaction.
Parenteral Preparation: Osmolality is an important indicator of proper formulation and compounding of a preparation.
Glycine Wash Solution: Osmolality is a useful screening tool of solutions that may be improperly formulated, as improperly formulated solutions can irritate and burn exposed tissues.
Infant Formulae: Osmolality is a safety check
to ensure the formulae are safe for consumption and will provide maximum
nutritional benefit.
