Nothing happens they stay intact, because they do not lose or take in any water by osmosis ; only because salt has about the same concentration as cells do.
nothing
What is the tonicity of you blood
normal saline is compatible to blood
Normal saline is the only IV fluid which is compatible with our blood. Given before to flush blood from the iv catheter and after to rinse it to make the site patent.
Saline. Sometimes referred to as normal saline or 0.9% NaCl.
Normal saline is the same as our body which is 0.9% saline. Serious side effects can occur if it did not have the same salt content as our body and in blood transfusions the red blood cells could burst open resulting in a very ill patient and even death. Saline is know as sodium chloride or symbolized as NaCl.
nothing but normal saline can be run with any blood products
NS
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
Crenation takes place
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.
The only iv fluid used to start a blood transfusion in normal saline.
The only IV fluid that can be administered simultaneously w/ blood is Normal Saline Solution 0.9%.
