Sodium chloride 0.9 percent and normal saline are not quite the same solution. While they share the same osmolality, sodium chloride contains more salt.

Is normal saline with 20 percent kcl a hypertonic solution?

Yes this saline is a hypertonic solution but 3% saline is also not normal. There is nothing "normal" about it. There is only one "normal saline" and that is 0.9%.


How do you make a 9 percent saline solution?

To make a 9 percent saline solution, start by preparing a 100 percent salt solution. With a bottle of 100 percent salt water, take 9 percent and dilute with distilled water to make a 9 percent saline solution.


Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?

Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.


Is normal saline is hypertonic solution?

Yes this saline is a hypertonic solution but 3% saline is also not normal. There is nothing "normal" about it. There is only one "normal saline" and that is 0.9%.


Can you give a 0.25 percent NORMAL saline solution?

Yes, but it has 39 mEq/L of Na and Cl and always contains 5% dextrose for osmolality reasons.. No, you can not. By definition NORMAL saline is a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Any other concentration is simply not normal. You can infuse 0.25% saline, either with or without dextrose if you desire. Osmolarity is a concern without dextrose, but is clinically warranted in rare situations.
