	Saline (medicine)
		Normal saline is the solution of 0.9% W / V of NaCl.
		Normal saline is typically the first fluid used when dehydration is severe enough to threaten the adequacy of blood circulation and is the safest fluid to give quickly in large volumes.
		Other concentrations of saline are frequently used for other purposes, such as supplying extra water to a dehydrated patient or supplying the daily water and salt needs ("maintenance" needs) of a patient who is unable to take them by mouth.

	Metroactive Features \| Saline
		True, implants were not linked with most cancers, but both saline and silicone were associated with two to three times higher rates of brain cancer, three times higher rates of lung cancer, and four to five times higher rates of suicide.
		The extent of Dow's rehabilitation was shown by the fact that saline implants were approved by the FDA in May 2000, followed in a narrow vote by silicone in October, 2003.
		Saline has a shelf life and, once sterility is lost, has the potential for contamination by fungus and bacteria that can then cause systemic infections.

	Medications: Using Them Safely
		Sometimes medicines should be given on an as-needed basis (meaning they are given only when your child needs them for certain symptoms, such as pain or discomfort).
		Many prescription and medicine bottles look the same, so make sure your child's name is on the label and it's the medicine that the doctor recommended or prescribed.\ Be especially careful when reaching into the medicine cabinet in the middle of the night - it's easy to grab the wrong bottle when you're sleepy.
		Another common instruction on prescription medicines is "take on an empty stomach," in which case your child should take the medicine 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal because food may prevent the medicine from working properly or may delay or reduce its absorption.

		Saline, or salt water, is gentler on the nose than plain water, since our bloodstream and cells are all salt water (we came from the sea, after all.)
		Saline in the nose can help to clear the sinuses or the eustachian tubes (tubes draining the ears) if they are blocked by infection or allergy, and can also help to rinse out pollen, germs, and other irritants.
		When you are starting to run out of air, stop the saline, lean forward, and catch your breath.

		Many of the changes may be seen late on head imaging and should not delay administration of hypertonic saline or mannitol in those pediatric cases where cerebral edema is suspected.
		Further isotonic saline should be administered at a rate appropriate to maintain adequate blood pressure and pulse, urinary output, and mental status.
		If a patient is severely dehydrated and significant fluid resuscitation is needed, switching to a balanced electrolyte solution (such as Normosol-R, in which some of the chloride in isotonic saline is replaced with acetate) may help to avoid the development of a hyperchloremic acidosis.
