Read this thread about osmolarity. It seems that practises vary, some seem to go as high as 1800 mosmol/l. Personally, I'd not advocate such high osmolarity, even central lines can result in extravasation and a very hypertonic solution i any extravascular space...

Maybe this reference may give you some information about hypertonic solutions:
