Cerebral edema: Hypertonic saline solutions

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
Our experience, and that of others, suggests that hypertonic saline solution therapy reduces intracranial pressure and lateral displacement of the brain in patients with cerebral edema. This therapy appears most promising in patients who have head trauma or postoperative cerebral edema.

ISOCHLOREMIC HYPERTONIC SOLUTIONS FOR SEVERE HEMORRHAGE

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
Two different hypertonic (2400 mOsm/L) isochloremic dextran solutions (sodium acetate, HAD; and sodium lactate, HLD; in 0.9% NaCl + 6% dextran 70) were compared with HSD (2400 mOsm/L NaCl + 6% dextran 70) as initial treatment for severe uninterrupted arterial bleeding.

Effects of hypertonic solutions on bile formation

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1963
Modifications of flow and composition of bile have been studied in the guinea pig with ligated ureters after injection of hypertonic solutions of two nonmetabolizable substances, mannitol and xylose (1.66 m), into the jugular vein. A distinct and persistent decrease in biliary flow always occurs.

Cholinergic-like effects of hypertonic solutions

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1961
A consideration of the physiological effects of hypertonic solutions suggested that certain aspects might be cholinergic. This hypothesis has been investigated. Concentrated urea, glucose or salt solutions were rapidly injected intravenously into 25 anesthetized dogs.

Microvascular effects of hypertonic solutions in the hamster

Microvascular Research, 1976
Abstract The microvessel beds of the cheek pouch and cremaster muscle of the golden hamster were exposed to hypertonic solutions between 312 and 372 mosm/liter. In the cremaster, arteriolar dilations were induced at osmolarities of 332 mosm/liter and greater.

Effect of a hypertonic solution on intestinal absorption

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1957
1. In measuring intestinal absorption by direct intubation techniques, the error introduced by incomplete recovery of intestinal contents may be corrected by use of a nonabsorbable reference material. 2. Hypertonic solutions induce rapid transfer of fluid into the gut and greatly impair iodide absorption.

Volume Kinetics and Hypertonic‐Hyperoncotic Solutions*

Transfusion Alternatives in Transfusion Medicine, 2002
SUMMARYKinetic analysis may be used to compare the potencies of infusion fluids to dilute venous plasma, which can be used as an index of plasma volume expansion. In male volunteers, Ringer's acetate and Ringer's lactate were between 5% and 15% less potent than 0.9% saline, while 7.5% saline was approximately 4 times and 7.5% saline in 6% dextran 70 ...

Hypertonic solutions for termination of pregnancy

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1968
Experience with the use of hypertonic solutions for the termination of 17 pregnancies has been reported. A success rate approaching 90 per cent with the use of hypertonic saline was encountered. No ill effects were seen. The precautionary measures believed to be necessary to eliminate risks have been stressed.

Hypertonic Solutions in Emergency Medicine

1995
A primary goal in the treatment of severely traumatized, out-of-hospital patients is to prevent any further decline in cardiocirculatory function and begin the process of restoration towards normal. Changes on the level of the macrocirculation are due to a reduction and redistribution of the circulating blood volume.

Hypertonic and Hypotonic Solutions

1958
The colloidal behavior of protoplasm follows a queer pattern. One surprising and rather striking fact is that agents which might presumably be supposed to act in opposite fashion often enough have the same sort of an effect on protoplasm. So for example, cold and heat both can liquefy, both can coagulate protoplasm, both can act as stimulating agents ...
