If you really need a "home made" blood volume expander, stick with sterilized sea water. The sodium chloride concentration is roughly equivilant to isotonic (normal) saline, i.e. 0.9%.

Please note I am not a medical doctor. I do know that other IV fluids such as dextram, non-normal saline etc. may cause problems depending on patient condition.
