A hypotonic solution will be anything with less than 0.9% salt.
Hypertonic any solution that is above 0.9% is hypertonic and less than 0.9% hypotonic.
0.9
D5w and 0.9 ns are both isotonic solutions (osmolarity is similar to body fluids). When combined however, the solution becomes hypertonic (osmolarity is greater than body fluids). When administered iv, d5w .9 ns pulls fluid from cells and interstitial space into blood vessels.
A 10% NaCl solution is hypertonic to a blood cell and would cause the cell to shrink, aka crenation.
I guess that depends on what you are comparing the solution to? In comparison to human blood, it is most certainly a hypertonic solution, because there is a much higher concentration of Na+ and Cl- in the solution than in the blood. An isotonic solution would only be 0.89% NaCl. See related link for more details.
the red blood cells will shrivel and collapse since NaCl is hypertonic compared to the red blood cells.
Crenation is the contraction of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis.Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.
no, It's isotonic.
Isotonic, because that is close to the concentration in the blood.
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
No. Everything below 0.9% of NaCl is hypotonic and every solution with concentration over 0.9% is hypertonic solution. Isotonic solution (to blood) is the one that has 0.9% of NaCl, or some other concentration of another compound.
I think those the effects of Osmosis which are: Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
Hypertonic solutions contain higher concentrations of various dilutes than blood, Isotonic solutions contain the same concentrations, and Hypotonic solutions contain less of its dilute components than blood. As such, you might deliver hypertonic saline to a patient who is electrolytically depleted, an isotonic to a patient whose blood chemistry is good but is hypovolemic, and a hypotonic like D5W to a dehydrated patient whose electrolytes are very high in spite of the dehydration. It's a way of adding fluids and trying to balance the blood chemistry at the same time.
Expand blood volume to help a fluid deficit. Isotonic is used because they don't move water in or out of the cell- meaning they are most compatible with human blood as opposed to hypertonic and hypotonic solutions.
Hypertonic solution: A solution with a higher sailt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood. As opposed to an isotonic isolution or a hypotonic solution. Follow medicine dictionary.
Normal saline is an example of an isotonic fluid. It contains 0.9% salt in water.An isotonic solution is a solution that contains the same concentration of solutes (dissolved particles) as blood. Isotonic saline is an example. Isotonic saline is a solution with the same concentration of salts as human blood.
Yes if you are speaking about use with blood. An isotonic solution has the same concentration of specific elements as you blood preventing cellular damage. If you used a hypertonic solution all the water would leave the cell and it would crenate. If you use a hypotonic solution water would move into the cell quickly and the cell would burst (lyse).
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
