What is intravenous physiological solution?
intravenous physiological solution is a medical treatment that provides a sterile water solution and sodium chloride (NaCl), also known as salt. This solution is administered through the tube directly into the patient's vein by means of injection needle. The term "intravenous" means "into a vein". Intravenous physiological solution is commonly used to rehydrate the body to improve or restore the function of the body.
The human body naturally contains a percentage of sodium, chloride and water. Dehydration and blood loss can cause fluid imbalance in the body that needs to be repaired by intravenous infusion. Medical physiological solution in the correct ratio of the NACL to water can be used to rehydrate and restore the body while maintaining the balance necessary to prevent body cell disturbances. The mixture known as "normal physiological solution" is a solution of 0.9 percent of sodium chloride and is most time used in intravenous salt therapy for rehydration. It is balanced by the natural salinity of the human body.
sodium chloride attracts water. The fluid containing too much salt is known as a hypertonic solution and pulls water out of the body cells. This mixture may cause dehydration that - if not controlled - will eventually lead to the patient's death. Similarly, the hypotonic fluid solution containing too low the NaCL percentage attracts water into the cells, causing it to swell. Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions have a place in medical therapy, depending on the condition of the patient and the balance of electrolyte.
In order to be administered by intravenous physiological solution, a medical expert must place specialized equipment that provides access to the patient's vein. The physiological solution is most often administered through What is known as the peripheral cannula. The cannula or a small flexible tube is connected to the hollow needle. This needle is inserted into any vein outside the chest or abdominal area, usually in hand or arm.
after the introduction of the canaLY can be connected to a tube with an intravenous bag or bottle of fluids. The flow of intravenous physiological solution can be controlled by an infusion pump or gravitational drip. The infusion pump is electronic equipment and gravitational drip consists of intravenous pole and clamp. Hospitals may require peripheral cannula to change at regular intervals to prevent inflammation and infection.
