For example‚ hypertonic saline is often used in situations where brain swelling is a problem in order to increase the intravascular osmolality thereby pulling fluid out of tissues including the brain thereby shrinking it. Given the rapid increase in intravascular volume it provides‚ there is probably a role for hypertonic saline in septic shock and traumatic shock because hypertonic solutions pull free water from tissues.

Eighty parturients were randomly placed into four groups‚ with group 1 to receive normal saline 10 milliliters and groups 2‚ 3 and 4 to receive granisetron‚ ondansetron‚ and ephedrine‚ respectively. The medications were diluted in normal saline to total 10 milliliters and injected prior to spinal anesthesia. The trial showed that prophylactic administration of the three studied drugs decreased spinal-induced hypotension

Results & Discussion 9 Conclusion 9 Recommendations 9 Bibliography 10 Appendices 11 Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to see the effects of different concentrations of saline solution on Red Blood Cells. When a Red Blood Cell is submersed in a high concentration of saline solution it will create a hypertonic environment and therefore cause the cell to rupture due to the process of osmosis. The methods used to collect data were observation and note taking. Overall the

1. The radish plant growth within the tap water petri dish grew so well it started to lift the lid off the dish. The results from the Acid Rain (50% vinegar solution) did not allow any radish seeds to germinate. There were never signs of seed germination while observing the seeds over a three week period. In the petri dish labeled Acid Rain‚ 0 out of 10 seeds sprouted into plant growth as seen in Figure 5.2. The results from the effects of acid rain are compared on Figures 5.1 and 5.2.

During the clinical rotation to Southeastern Medical Oncology Center observations were made concerning cancer patients‚ their treatments‚ nursing care‚ education and special procedures while handling their medications. Upon entry of the treatment facility reclining chairs were lined up along the wall from one side of the room to the other. Each chair had its own television and headphones. Refreshments such as beverages and chips for the patients were near the door along‚ with the scale for weighing

Exercise 8-B Differential Staining Gram Staining and Acid Fast Staining Introduction: Differential Staining‚ one which facilitates differentiation of various elements in a specimen is a general term that can refer to a number of specific processes. Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or cellular components of a single organism. Gram’s Stain is a widely used method of staining bacteria as an aid to their identification. It was originally devised by Hans
