When animal blood is mixed with physiologic saline, the saline solution helps to maintain the osmotic balance and provides a suitable environment for the cells. Red blood cells may remain intact if the saline is isotonic, but if the saline is hypotonic, it can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure. Additionally, the saline can dilute the blood components, affecting its viscosity and the concentration of cells and proteins. Overall, the interaction depends on the saline's tonicity relative to the blood.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to a red blood cell put in 0.9 saline?
the RBC gets swel up and it bursts
What physiologic process describes the movement from the alveoli to the blood?
Transpiration.
To what body fluid is saline isotonic?
0.9% saline is isotonic to blood.
What percent of saline will blood cause the solution to become red?
0.35% saline
What happens to the animal a vampire bat drinks blood from?
nothing
Could Saline through iv elevate blood alcohol level?
Saline solution cannot increase blood alcohol level.
What is the tonicity of normal saline compared to your blood?
What is the tonicity of you blood
Kinds of physiologic solution and their composition?
Common physiologic solutions include saline (sodium chloride 0.9%), Ringer's solution (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate), and Hartmann's solution (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate). These solutions mimic the electrolyte composition of plasma to maintain normal body functions during medical interventions such as surgeries, dehydration, or blood loss.
Why use NS with blood transfusions?
normal saline is compatible to blood
What is the only fluid that is used with blood transfusions?
Saline. Sometimes referred to as normal saline or 0.9% NaCl.
What is heparinized saline?
Heperanin - is a compound that prevents blood coagulation. It is found in the liver and other tissues but can also be injected intravenously. So I'm assuming that Heparinized saline is a saline solution that also prevents blood from clotting.
Why is normal saline given after blood transfusion?
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.
