Indication/Uses:

Sodium Chloride 0.9% Solution for Irrigation (Shijiazhuang), typically used in a 1-liter bottle, is a sterile isotonic solution of sodium chloride in water. It has a range of medical and surgical applications. Here are the main indications and uses:

1. Surgical Irrigation:

   • Wound and Surgical Site Irrigation: Used to irrigate and clean wounds or surgical sites during and after procedures to remove debris, contaminants, and blood.

2. Bladder Irrigation:

   • Bladder Washout: Used for irrigation of the bladder, especially in cases where there is bleeding or sediment that needs to be cleared following certain surgical procedures, such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

3. Endoscopy:

   • Endoscopic Procedures: Used to irrigate body cavities or organs during endoscopic procedures to provide a clear view and maintain a sterile field.

4. Catheter Flushing:

   • Flushing of IV and Urinary Catheters: Used to flush intravenous (IV) or urinary catheters to maintain patency and prevent blockages.

5. Hydration:

   • Hydration of Tissues: Can be used to maintain hydration of tissues during certain medical procedures.

Mechanism of Action:

• Isotonic Solution: Sodium chloride 0.9% is isotonic, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as body fluids. This ensures that it does not cause significant fluid shifts between cells and the bloodstream, making it suitable for use in various irrigation procedures without disrupting electrolyte balance.

Dosage and Administration:

• Volume: The solution is used as needed depending on the procedure. A 1-liter bottle provides a large volume for irrigation needs.
• Application: The solution is typically administered through sterile equipment and should be handled using aseptic techniques to prevent contamination.
