Role of
normal saline as irrigation agent was compared only to controls where no irrigant was used.
Mean body weight of newborns of Awassi ewes injected, at days 0, 28, and 50 of treatment, with 4,2, and 2 mL of
normal saline (control; C-ve), 400,200, and 200 [jg of ovalbumin (positive control; C+ve), 400,200, and 200 |jg of synthetic inhibin (SI group), and 4 mL of
normal saline followed by 4 and 2 mL of steroid free bovine follicular fluid (SFBFF) antiserum (Al group), respectively.
Conclusion: Hypertonic saline resulted in significant reductions in modified respiratory assessment score (MRAS) and hospital stay as compared to
normal saline in children with acute bronchiolitis.
Prior studies have shown increased postoperative UTIs when 50% and 10% dextrose was used versus
normal saline for cystoscopy.
The average wound sizes on the first day were 12.5 [+ or -] 2.6, 12.5 [+ or -] 4.4, 11.8 [+ or -] 2.4, 12.6 [+ or -] 4.9, and 12.2 [+ or -] 5.7 [cm.sup.2] in rats treated with cream containing 1% SSD, base cream,
normal saline, cream containing 5% P.
Preventive measures, particularly early
normal saline infusion with or without concurrent use of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, or both, must be considered to prevent adverse outcomes.
Prior to our study, we conducted a pilot study using 3 ml of NAC 20% with 3 ml
normal saline. This amount of NAC induced bronchospasm, which was relieved immediately using a bronchodilator.
The concomitant instillation of
normal saline to enhance the effectiveness of suctioning has been debated for several years, [1] highlighting the detrimental effects of
normal saline instillation (NSI).
At the end of each incubation time (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40,50, and 60 min), 10 mL of
normal saline was added to each tube and centrifuged for 1 min at 300 rpm and the supernatant was discarded.
Values represent the number of lines crossed by animal in box, 30 min after treatment with
normal saline (10 ml/kg, control), ZEO (200, 300 and 400 mg/kg) or bromazepam (5 mg/kg).
The doctors who are performing duties in ICUs and other wards have started using
normal saline to wash their faces and hands.
