Hypertonic saline for cerebral edema

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2003
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a major contributor to the mortality of many conditions encountered in a neurologic intensive care unit. Achieving a sustained reduction in ICP in patients with intracranial hypertension remains a challenge. Treatment with hyperosmolar agents is one of the few options that are available, and mannitol is currently ...

Hypertonic saline: a clinical review

Neurosurgical Review, 2007
Literature suggest that hypertonic saline (HTS) solution with sodium chloride concentration greater than the physiologic 0.9% can be useful in controlling elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and as a resuscitative agent in multiple settings including traumatic brain injury (TBI).

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970
To the Editor.— I must disagree with Manabe's condemnation of hypertonic saline for the induction of abortion ( 210: 2091, 1969). As he states, there were reports of deaths occurring in Japan after World War II following the intra-amniotic administration of saline, but because of the lack of specific details in the reports, the English-reading ...

The Effect of Oxytocin on Hypertonic Saline Abortion

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1977
Abstract. Oxytocin was infused in 22 randomly selected pregnant women after extraamniotic hypertonic saline instillation. In another 24 pregnant women no oxytocin was infused at midtrimester abortion. There was no difference between the two groups in mean time from saline injection to expulsion of the fetus.

Hypertonic Saline Instillation

1981
Instillation of hypertonic saline (20% NaCl) into the amniotic sac was one of the first methods used in this country to perform legal abortion by amnioinfusion. Even today, it probably is the most widely used method for late second-trimester abortions. When performed by experienced physicians, amnioinfusion with hypertonic saline is an effective method
