5% Dex vs 5% Dex/.9Nacl
I know that 5% dex will give you roughly double the amount, but ive read that the osmolarity of 5% Dex in .9 Nacl is almost double that of reg 5% dex. How much more of a swell would you get from the 5%/.9 over the reg 5% dex?

Re: 5% Dex vs 5% Dex/.9Nacl
I've done both and 5%/.9 does give you a little more swell but I wouldn't double. Maybe an extra 15-20% I think the advantage of the 5%/.9 is it keeps your electrolytes more balanced.
