Saline solution should always be in given as a concentration of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl).
hypertonic effect
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
Not sure what you are using saline solution for but i would say that saline solution is steril and water is not.
solution too concentrated,causing fluid buildup in vessel leading to dehydration and acute renal failure
Saline is sterilized and used to suspend and wash bacterial cells. Saline is used as distilled water would cause the cells to lyse due to osmosis. The saline solution is a solution of salt and water, it contains no source of energy.
Some IV's use saline solution, and some IVs use half normal saline solutions. There are other variants, as well (including lactated Ringer's solutions, for instance). Basically, these are various concentrations of salt water which mimic the salt content in the blood (more or less). It can be used to add other medications into your bloodstream. It's also used when the patient has low blood volume from an injury. It can also help reverse dehydration.
Saline solutions are ones that contain salt...if you evaporate a saline solution, you recover the dissolved salt, therefore an evaporated saline solution tastes like the salt that it is.
puncture in the skin that you are putting salt water into it.
Since saline dries things out, I would imagine that your piercer is correct. Saline (salt solution) absorbs moisture.
To dilute 500 gallons of a 31% solution to a 15% solution you would add 533.33 gallons of the dilutant. For example, if you have 500 gallons of a 31% saline solution you would add 533.33 gallons of water to create 1033.33 gallons of a 15% saline solution.
Probably it would be too much medication and trauma for the patient.
It depends on the concentration of salt within the solution. If the saline solution was less than 0.9%, then water would flow into the cells and they would swell and possible rupture. If the saline concentration was greater than 0.9%, then water would flow out of the cells and shrink which is called crenation. It the saline solution was 0.9% exactly, that is isotonic to the interior of a RBC and nothing would happen.
