When ever there is loss of fluids in the body.
Saline is not typically used for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) surgery. Normal saline is an isotonic solution and may not provide adequate visibility or controlled irrigation during the procedure. Typically, sterile water or a glycine-based solution is used for irrigation during TURP.
Normal saline, a sterile solution of sodium chloride in water, is commonly used in medical settings for various purposes. It is administered intravenously to maintain hydration, restore electrolyte balance, or as a vehicle for delivering medications. Additionally, normal saline can be used for wound irrigation, nasal irrigation, and in some diagnostic procedures. Its isotonic nature makes it safe for use in a wide range of patients.
No, saline solution is typically used for irrigation while Dakin's solution is used for wound disinfection. Dakin's solution should not be used for irrigation due to its potential toxicity to healthy tissue. It is important to follow healthcare provider recommendations for wound care.
Eye irrigation is a technique used to clean and rinse the eye with a sterile solution, typically saline or water. It can help remove foreign objects, chemicals, or irritants from the eye, providing relief and preventing further damage. This procedure is commonly done in medical settings by healthcare professionals.
No, NS and NSS are not the same solution. NS refers to Normal Saline, which is a solution of 0.9% sodium chloride in water. NSS refers to Normal Saline Solution, which is the same as NS. Both terms are commonly used interchangeably to refer to the same solution.
can normal saline for irrigation be used orally at 200ml 3 times daily

infusion doesnt get diluted or mixed and goes straight into a patients iv, where as irrigation is usually mixed with a powdered drug, such as antibotics, then given as an injection
Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) would be the best choice for the eye irrigation.
Normal Saline can promote the metastasis of the cancer. Ask others for more detailed explanation :)
i think it is one third of the hypochlorite solution and remaining normal saline
Normal saline is 0.9% NaCl (sodium chloride or salt). This means that for every 100 mL of water there is 0.9 grams of NaCl. This is equivalent to 9.0 grams per litre or 0.009 grams per millilitre.
Normal saline intended to be used for intravenous administration comes under drug category.
0.9% NaCl solution (normal saline, physiological saline) is used to give intravenous fluids to the patients suffering from salt and water deprivation. It can be used to wash the wounds etc.
Normal saline used for irrigating wounds in a hospital setting is good for 24 hours after opening it. In the home setting, many clients will use a bottle for longer than 24 hours due to the cost.
yes, they are interchangeable in the OR I beg to differ - While I'm sure they are used interchangeably, they're not the same thing and shouldn't be substituted. Sterile water for Irrigation is not Isotonic (or iso-osmotic) and can cause severe hemolysis if used inappropriately. Problems arise when large volumes are used and when incompatible drugs are added to the wrong irrigant.
How do we prepare a normal saline?
