COMPARISON BETWEEN THE EFFECTS OF 5 PERCENT HYPERTONIC SODIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION AND 0.9 PERCENT SODIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION ON LEFT VENTRICUL AR CONTRACTION

Hypertonic saline solution can absorb part of the intracellular fluid volume into the extracellular space.

This study was designed to assess the effects of hypertonic saline solution in open heart surgery and to compare it w...
