Continuous Intravenous Saline Infusion

[Continuous intravenous glucose infusion tests].

Sixty minutes' intravenous glucose infusion tests were carried out in normal subjects, borderline cases, and diabetics which were diagnosed by 50 g oral glucose tolerance test . Infusion was performed at the rate of 5 mg/kg/min . or 15 mg/kg/min. using 5% or 10% glucose. The difference in the insulin responses among thesegroups was rather marked in the case of 15 mg/kg/min. infusion of 10% gluc...

A One-Man Apparatus for Intravenous Saline Infusion

Effects of continuous hypertonic saline infusion on perihemorrhagic edema evolution.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mass effect of hematoma and the associated perihematomal edema are commonly responsible for neurological deterioration after intracerebral hemorrhage. Efficacy of surgical and medical therapy is limited. We studied the effect of early continuous hypertonic saline infusion on development of perihematomal edema after severe spontaneous supratentorial hemorrhage. METHODS P...

Intermittent saline flushes or continuous saline infusion: what works better when heparin-free dialysis is recommended?

INTRODUCTION Coagulation-free dialysis, also commonly known as "heparin-free" dialysis, can be a challenging procedure as it increases the risk of clotting the dialysis circuit. Utilizing a better saline flushing technique can lead to improved patient outcomes as well as huge financial benefits to the health institution. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of continuous s...
