Less commonly, this solution is referred to as physiological saline or isotonic saline (because it is approximately isotonic to blood serum, which makes it a physiologically normal solution).

    The typical composition of a banana bag is 1 liter of normal saline (sodium chloride 0.9%) with: [2] Thiamine 100 mg; Folic acid 1 mg; Multivitamin for infusion (MVI), 1 ampule; Magnesium sulfate 3 g; The solution is typically infused over four to eight hours or as per physician's orders.

  5. Plasma osmolality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_Osmolality

    In normal people, increased osmolality in the blood will stimulate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This will result in increased water reabsorption, more concentrated urine, and less concentrated blood plasma. A low serum osmolality will suppress the release of ADH, resulting in decreased water reabsorption and more concentrated plasma.

  6. Whole lung lavage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_lung_lavage

    Saline instillation helps maintain lung expansion during the lavage process, preventing atelectasis (collapse of lung tissue). The total volume of saline used can vary but typically ranges from 15 to 20 liters per lung, administered in aliquots of 500 to 1000 ml. Exogenous surfactant may be administered to help restore normal lung function ...

    Flushing with saline should be painless if the cannula is in its proper place, although if the saline is not warmed there may be a cold sensation running up the vein. A painful flush may indicate tissuing or phlebitis and is an indication that the cannula should be relocated. [1] Solutions other than normal saline may be used.

  9. Ringer's lactate solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer's_lactate_solution

    To maintain electrical neutrality, the solution has a lower level of sodium than that found in blood plasma or normal saline. [ 4 ] Generally, the source of the constituent ions is a mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium lactate (CH 3 CH(OH)CO 2 Na), calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ), and potassium chloride (KCl), dissolved into distilled water .
