POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 20MEQ IN DEXTROSE 5% AND SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.45% (dextrose)
**Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Solution A (ACD-A)** is an anticoagulant indicated for use only with medical devices designed to prepare Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for extracorporeal use. It maintains blood in a fluid state during processing outside the body by preventing the coagulation transition.
How POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 20MEQ IN DEXTROSE 5% AND SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.45% Works
**Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Solution A** functions by chelating (binding) free calcium ions in the blood. Because ionized calcium is a necessary co-factor for multiple steps in the coagulation cascade, its removal prevents clot formation. The solution utilizes sodium citrate for anticoagulation, citric acid for pH regulation, and dextrose to maintain isotonicity. *(Note: If you intended to generate a summary for **Potassium Chloride in D5 1/2 NS**, the provided summary is entirely incorrect. That drug is used for fluid and electrolyte maintenance, not for blood processing or anticoagulation.)*
