  2. Whole lung lavage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_lung_lavage

    Whole lung lavage (WLL), also called lung washing, is a medical procedure in which the patient's lungs are washed with saline (salt water) by filling and draining repeatedly. It is used to treat pulmonary alveolar proteinosis , in which excess lung surfactant proteins prevent the patient from breathing.

  3. Saline (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

    Saline (also known as saline solution) is a mixture of sodium chloride (salt) and water. [1] It has a number of uses in medicine including cleaning wounds, removal and storage of contact lenses, and help with dry eyes. [2] By injection into a vein, it is used to treat hypovolemia such as that from gastroenteritis and diabetic ketoacidosis.

  4. Water softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_softening

    Brine draw: Water is directed through a jet pump, which pulls salt water from the brine tank, before the water and brine pass through the resin bed in the normal direction, if co-current, or in the reverse direction, if counter-current. [11] The output of this typically thirty-minute process is discarded through the drain hose.

  5. Dealkalization of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dealkalization_of_water

    Chloride cycle dealkalizers operate similar to sodium cycle cation water softeners. Like water softeners, dealkalizers contain ion-exchange resins that are regenerated with a concentrated salt solution - NaCl. In the case of a water softener, the cation exchange resin is exchanging sodium (the Na + ion of NaCl) for hardness minerals such as ...

  6. Bath salts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_salts

    A bath salt tablet shaped like a seashell. Some bath salts act as water softeners and change the way soap rinses. High concentrations of salts increase the density of the water and increase buoyancy, which makes the body feel lighter in the bath. Very high concentrations of salts in water are used in many isolation tank therapies. Isolation ...

  7. Electrochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochlorination

    The water used is usually brackish water or brine (i.e. a solution with >0.5% salinity). In these cases, additional contaminant chemicals may be present in the water feed. The low voltage DC current still performs electrochlorination. The excess chemicals are left untouched and can be easily discarded. [2]

  8. Salt poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_poisoning

    Salt poisoning is an intoxication resulting from the excessive intake of sodium (usually as sodium chloride) either in solid form or in solution (saline water, including brine, brackish water, or seawater). Salt poisoning sufficient to produce severe symptoms is rare, and lethal salt poisoning is possible but even rarer. The lethal dose of ...

  9. Saline flush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_flush

    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.
