However, the high osmolarity of hypertonic saline relative to other plasma expanders confers an additional advantage. With an intact blood-brain barrier, hypertonic saline should pull edematous ...

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have shown that a hypertonic saline solution inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and have elucidated the ...

All children were randomly assigned to receive inhaled two puffs of 100 µg salbutamol followed by 4 mL of 7% hypertonic saline (n = 56) or 0.9% isotonic saline (n = 60) twice daily for 48 weeks.

Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2010;67(22):1920-1928. Due to the high osmolarity of hypertonic saline, infusion through a central line is preferred to minimize phlebitis. Most studies used a 7.5% ...
