The effect of intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline on the intra-ocular pressure.

چکیده
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 Consequently, on making the blood hypertonic by the intravenous injection of sodium chloride, water should be withdrawn from the eye, and the intra-ocular pressure lowered.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 described (Duke-Elder, 1926), and the observation has been cited as evidence in favour of the dialysis theory of the formation of the intra-ocular fluid, although an alternative interpretation was placed on the results by Robertson (1937).

Sclerosing Cholangitis Induced by Intra-Biliary Tree Injection of Silver Nitrate or Hypertonic Saline Solutions in Rabbit
Background: One of the most serious late complications, after evacuation of liver hydatid cyst and instillation of scolicidal agents is sclerosing cholangitis, most probably caused by the type of scolicidal agents instilled. Objective: To determine the incidence of sclerosing cholangitis after intra-biliary tract infusion of 5% saline and 0.5% silver nitrate. Methods: 5% hypertonic saline and ...

BACKGROUND The infusion of small volumes of hypertonic saline solution or hypertonic saline plus dextran 70 is remarkably effective in restoring adequate hemodynamic conditions after hypovolemic shock. This prospective double-blind study compares the immediate hemodynamic effects of a bolus infusion of 7.5% NaCl or 7.5% NaCl plus 6% dextran 70 (both 2400 mOsm/L) in severe hypovolemia. METHODS...

Introduction : Various treatments are used to reduce cerebral edema in stroke patients that show signs of RICP. Mannitol is used as the first line of standard therapy in the control of RICP in the acute phase. Presently most of the researches are focused on the use of hypertonic saline in the treatment of cerebral edema and recent studies have shown that it can replace serum mannitol and may ...
متن کاملCardiovascular adjustments induced by hypertonic saline in hemorrhagic rats: Involvement of carotid body chemoreceptors
The peripheral hyperosmolarity elicited by intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline brings potential benefits to the treatment of hemorrhage. The neural mechanisms involved in these beneficial effects remain unknown. The present study examines the role of carotid chemoreceptors in cardiovascular responses induced by hypertonic saline after hypovolemic hemorrhage in rats. Male Wistar rats (300-...
متن کاملHypertonic sodium resuscitation after hemorrhage improves hemodynamic function by stimulating cardiac, but not renal, sympathetic nerve activity.
Small volume hypertonic saline resuscitation can be beneficial for treating hemorrhagic shock, but the mechanism remains poorly defined. We investigated the effects of hemorrhagic resuscitation with hypertonic saline on cardiac (CSNA) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and the resulting cardiovascular consequences. Studies were performed on conscious sheep instrumented with cardiac (n=...
