Want this question answered?
It is saline that has twice the concentration of salt as normal saline. Normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, so twice normal is 1.8% NaCl. Now I have a question. Is this ever given to patients?
it's hypotonic
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.
Autoagglutination should also be distinguished from "Rouleaux formation" wherein normal blood tends to form stacks on keeping, which disperses on dilution with normal saline.
Isotonic saline is 0.9% saline. Thus, when receiving IV fluids, Normal Saline is often given at a concentration of 0.9% as to be isotonic with blood. Other medical applications necessitate the administration of hyper-/hypotonic saline solutions that would induce various osmotic shifts.
How do we prepare a normal saline?
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%.

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.
what catecholamine should not be mixed with normal saline
normal saline composition is same as body fliud
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
No, normal saline is not considered to be sperm friendly. Because of the ingredients and chemicals in saline, it will kill sperm on contact.
