The effect of intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline on the intra-ocular pressure.
THE exchange of water between blood and eye fluids is very rapid (Kinsey, Grant, and Cogan, 1942) in comparison with the migration of sodium chloride across the blood aqueous barrier. Consequently, on making the blood hypertonic by the intravenous injection of sodium chloride, water should be withdrawn from the eye, and the intra-ocular pressure lowered. Qualitatively, such an effect has been d...
متن کاملHypertonic saline for cerebral edema and elevated intracranial pressure.
The use of HS solutions has been shown to reduce ICP both in animal models and in human studies in a variety of underlying disorders, even in cases refractory to treatment with hyperventilation and mannitol. There are several possible mechanisms of action, and important complications such as central pontine myelinolysis and intracranial hemorrhage have not been reported in the human studies. Di...
متن کاملHypertonic saline and stroke.
Cytotoxic brain edema—swelling of nerve and glial cells—is among the very early pathophysiologic sequelae of focal cerebral ischemia. Once cell swelling has exhausted the cerebral compliance, intracranial pressure increases and, thereby, causes secondary ischemia. Hypertonic solutions, mannitol in particular, have long been used to reduce intracranial pressure. More recently, hypertonic saline ...
متن کاملHypertonic saline for craniotomy?
IN this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Rozet et al. present the findings of a comprehensive study comparing two hyperosmolar agents, hypertonic saline (HS) and mannitol, for brain relaxation during craniotomy. This work calls into question whether sufficient information is now available to advocate substitution of mannitol with HS to promote brain relaxation during routine craniotomy. It was discover...

transfusions. The constant bleeding, together with the constant replenishment by saline solution, must have acted by washing the toxin out of the tissues, as it were. The bleeding stopped as soon as the venom was sufficiently diluted. Calcium was therefore contraindicated, contrary to your suggestion in the footnote. The idea strikes me that it stands to reason to try to treat both colubrine an...
