  2. Saline (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_(medicine)

    The solution is 9 grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in water, to a total volume of 1000 ml (weight per unit volume). The mass of 1 millilitre of normal saline is 1.0046 grams at 22 °C. [12] [13] The molecular weight of sodium chloride is approximately 58.4 grams per mole, so 58.4 grams of sodium chloride equals 1 mole. Since normal ...

  3. Nasal spray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_spray

    Three types of nasal sprays preparations of sodium chloride are available including hypertonic (3% sodium chloride or sea water), isotonic (0.9% sodium chloride) and hypotonic (0.65% sodium chloride). Isotonic solutions have the same salt concentration as the human body, whereas hypertonic solutions have a higher salt content and hypotonic ...

  4. Banana bag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_bag

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperchloremic_acidosis

    Ingestion of ammonium chloride, hydrochloric acid, or other acidifying salts; The treatment and recovery phases of diabetic ketoacidosis; Volume resuscitation with 0.9% normal saline provides a chloride load, so that infusing more than 3–4L can cause acidosis; Hyperalimentation (i.e., total parenteral nutrition)

  6. Volume expander - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_expander

    The most commonly used crystalloid fluid is normal saline, a solution of sodium chloride at 0.9% concentration, which is close to the concentration in the blood . [3] Ringer's lactate or Ringer's acetate is another isotonic solution often used for large-volume fluid replacement. The choice of fluids may also depend on the chemical properties of ...

  7. Salt poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_poisoning

    Death results by the swelling of the brain against the skull. (Normal serum sodium levels are 135–145 mEq/liter (135–145 mmol/L). Severe symptoms typically only occur when levels are above 160 mEq/L.) The human renal system actively regulates sodium chloride in the blood within a very narrow range around 9 g/L (0.9% by weight). [citation ...

  8. Sodium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride

    Sodium chloride / ˌ s oʊ d i ə m ˈ k l ɔːr aɪ d /, [8] commonly known as edible salt, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chlorine ions. It is transparent or translucent, brittle, hygroscopic , and occurs as the mineral halite .

  9. Autotransfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransfusion

    The sponges are periodically wrung out and removed from the basin, the remaining solution can be suctioned into the autotransfusion reservoir so that the red cells can be recovered. The usual ratio of heparinized saline is 5,000 units of heparin per 1,000 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride. The heparin is removed during the autotransfusion process. [8] [9]
