Comparison of Serum Sodium Levels Following Intravenous Administration of Isotonic and Hypotonic Solutions in Young Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Objectives: This study evaluated changes in serum sodium (S Na) 24 h after the administration of isotonic versus hypotonic intravenous fluids (IVFs) and the incidences of dysnatremia and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.

Avoiding hypotonic solutions in paediatrics: Keeping our patients safe. [PDF]
A previously healthy, fully immunized, 14 kg four-year-old girl presented to the local emergency department with a seven-day history of upper respiratory tract symptoms and 24 h of fever, irritability and decreased oral intake. Her temperature on presentation was 38.9°C, heart rate 120 beats/min, respiratory rate 25 breaths/min, and blood pressure 90 ...

Cell Volume Changes and Membrane Ruptures Induced by Hypotonic Electrolyte and Sugar Solutions
The cell volume changes induced by hypotonic electrolyte and sucrose solutions were studied in Chinese-hamster-ovary epithelial cells. The effects in the solutions with osmolarities between 32 and 315 mosM/L and distilled water were analyzed using bright-

Structural Alterations in Nerve Fibers Produced by Hypotonic and Hypertonic Solutions [PDF]
In sections of KMnO4-fixed, developing mouse sciatic nerves, the central gap of mesaxons in myelinating fibers is normally closed with close apposition of the outside ∼20 A dense strata of the two ∼75 A Schwann cell membranes. The two combined outside strata make the intraperiod line bisecting each myelin lamella.

THE MECHANISM OF CHANGE IN RESISTANCE OF ERYTHROCYTES TO HYPOTONIC SALT SOLUTIONS [PDF]
Ashby's work on the effects of KCl and NaCl on the resistance to hypotonic hemolysis of K•-rich and K•-poor erythrocytes has been repeated with great attention to purity of materials and refinement of technique. The results fail to agree with those of Ashby. 1. KCl produces greater loss in resistance to hypotonic hemolysis than does NaCl,
