just learnt this concept & thought to share like vencky rightly said
(1)Isotonic fluid stays only within the ECF compartment...eg
600mls of 0.9% Normal Saline -->150mls in Plasma,450mls in ISF,0mls in ICF
(2)Dextrose infusion will equillibrate within all compartments..eg
600mls Dextrose--->50mls in plasma,150mls ISF & 400mls in ICF
(3)Albumin infusion stays only within plasma compartment ..eg
600mls albumin--->600mls in plasma,0mls in ISF & ICF.......................
