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%.
Yes, Sodium Chloride 0.9% and Normal Saline are the same solution. Normal Saline is a sterile solution of 0.9% sodium chloride in water, commonly used in medical settings for hydration and to dilute medications.
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 freezing temperature of 0.9% saline solution is approximately -0.52°C (30.9°F). This solution, commonly known as normal saline, freezes at a slightly lower temperature than pure water due to the presence of dissolved solutes.
The HCPCS code for 0.9% sodium chloride irrigation solution 1000ml is J7050.
Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) has a concentration of 154 milliequivalents per liter of sodium. This means that a 1L bag of normal saline would contain 154 milliequivalents of sodium.

A 2.5% dextrose in normal saline solution is hypertonic. Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) is isotonic, but adding dextrose increases the osmolarity, making the solution hypertonic.
No, half-normal saline solution is considered hypertonic as it has a higher osmolarity compared to normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl) which is isotonic.
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.
3% saline
Yes, it is considered a hypertonic solution. Normal saline that is Isotonic with body cells or in pharmaceutical preparations strength is 0.9%. Therefore, any concentration that is higher of lower is Hypertonic and hypotonic respectively.
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
Hypertonic dextrose solution
Because the normal saline solution is 0,9 %.
For mammals, anything greater than .9% is hypertonic.
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.
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
