The role and efficacy of saline is for irrigation as well as pre-irrigation, and is suitable for irrigation and pre-irrigation of surgery, wounds, eyes, urethra, and sterile plumbing systems, as well as for use in obstetrics for induction of labor by water bladder. Sodium chloride is an electrolyte supplementation drug, sodium and chlorine are important electrolytes in the body, mainly in the extracellular fluid, to maintain normal blood and extracellular fluid volume and osmotic pressure, plays a very important role.

Normal serum sodium concentration is 135-145 mmol/L, accounting for 92% of plasma cations and 90% of total osmolality, so the amount of plasma sodium plays a decisive role in osmolality. Normal serum chloride concentration is 98-106mmol/L. Sodium and chloride in the human body are mainly regulated through the hypothalamus, the posterior pituitary gland and the kidneys to maintain the stability of the volume of body fluids and osmolality, and it should be noted that overdose of this product can lead to hypernatremia and hyperkalemia, and it can cause the loss of bicarbonate and so on.

Precautions

1. Use saline to clear wounds; if chlorhexidine or iodine preparations are used, rinse well with saline.

2. Because the water glue contained in Euthyro SSD/Euthyro will stick with the rubber, it is recommended to wet the surgical gloves or changing tweezers with saline for a while when changing the medicine, which can be avoided.

3. Place Upto SSD or Upto directly over the wound, which can be cut according to the wound condition, and the edge should be 3 cm beyond the outer edge of the wound to protect the surrounding fragile skin. Please do not fold to use.

4. Use gauze or cotton pads as a secondary dressing, and self-adhesive elastic bandage Nelocon with pressure dressing.
