  2. Saline (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

    Saline solution for irrigation. Normal saline (NSS, NS or N/S) is the commonly used phrase for a solution of 0.90% w/v of NaCl, 308 mOsm/L or 9.0 g per liter. 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).

  3. Volume expander - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_expander

    Normal saline (NS) is the commonly used term for a solution of 0.9% w/v of NaCl, about 300 mOsm/L. [4] Less commonly, this solution is referred to as physiological saline or isotonic saline, neither of which is technically accurate.

  6. Fluid replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_replacement

    Physiologic saline solution, or 0.9% sodium chloride solution, is often used because it is isotonic, and therefore will not cause potentially dangerous fluid shifts. Also, if it is anticipated that blood will be given, normal saline is used because it is the only fluid compatible with blood administration. [citation needed]

  7. Tonicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonicity

    This is due to urea entering the cell down its concentration gradient, followed by water. The osmolarity of normal saline, 9 grams NaCl dissolved in water to a total volume of one liter, is a close approximation to the osmolarity of NaCl in blood (about 290 mOsm/L). Thus, normal saline is almost isotonic to blood plasma.

  8. Saline water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

    Saline water (more commonly known as salt water) is water that contains a high concentration of dissolved salts (mainly sodium chloride). On the United States Geological Survey (USGS) salinity scale, saline water is saltier than brackish water , but less salty than brine .

  9. Normal anion gap acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_anion_gap_acidosis

    Chloride administration, often from normal saline; Acetazolamide and other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors; Renal tubular acidosis [1] Diarrhea: due to a loss of bicarbonate. This is compensated by an increase in chloride concentration, thus leading to a normal anion gap, or hyperchloremic, metabolic acidosis.
