Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data driven strategies for acute pancreatitis (AP) in pediatrics are limited; adult data suggests lactated ringers (LR) compared to normal saline (NS) resulted in favorable outcomes, but has not been studied in pediatrics. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of LR during the first 48 h of an AP episode compared with NS. STUDY DESIGN A multisite randomized controlled clinical trial, from 2015 to 2020 (Clinical Trials.gov NCT03242473). Patients were randomized to exclusively LR or NS for the first 48 h. Primary outcomes were serial C-reactive protein (CRP) values. Secondary outcomes included other lab values, time to feeds, length of stay (LOS), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) development, and progression to severe AP (SAP). RESULTS We studied 76 patients (38 LR, 38 NS). CRP at 24 and 48 h were not significantly different between LR or NS group. Additionally, there were no differences in trends of BUN, amylase, lipase, SIRS status, or SAP development between the LR and NS group at 24 and 48 h. A higher proportion of LR patients (32%, 12/38) were discharged before 48 h compared to NS (13%, 5/38). The LR group had a significantly higher rate of discharge within the first 72 h compared to the NS group (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION The use of LR was associated with a faster rate of discharge during the intervention period and in the first 72 h, but no other differences compared to NS. This reduction in length of hospitalization has significant implications for patients and healthcare costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of chronic gingivitis, a widespread inflammatory condition of the gums, is considerable across the demographic spectrum, with potential progression to advanced periodontal pathology in the absence of intervention. The objective of this investigation was to conduct a comparative analysis of the clinical effectiveness of various oral rinses in mitigating the symptoms of chronic gingivitis. METHODS This empirical study was conducted within the confines of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology. A cohort of 60 individuals diagnosed with chronic gingivitis, ranging from 18 to 45 years of age and inclusive of all sexes, was systematically selected for participation. RESULTS Quantitative analysis yielded data indicating that the mean score on the gingival index was minimally recorded for participants utilizing herbal mouthwash (HO), in contrast to those administered with normal saline (NS), which displayed the highest mean score. A corresponding trend was observed with the plaque index, where the HO users exhibited the lowest mean values, as opposed to the NS cohort, which demonstrated the highest. CONCLUSION Employing post-hoc statistical evaluations, a pronounced disparity in the mean gingival index was discerned favoring the chlorhexidine (CHX) and HO groups over the NS group. No statistical significance was detected in the comparative mean gingival index between the CHX and HO cohorts. This pattern of findings was paralleled in the plaque index assessments, where the NS group's values were significantly elevated relative to those of both the CHX and HO groups.

Abstract
Background The surgical removal of mandibular third molars is one of the most common procedures in dentistry. Researchers have extensively studied the treatment of postoperative sequelae such as pain, edema, trismus, and alveolar osteitis throughout the past six decades. Many approaches have been used to address clinical difficulties after third molar surgery, including various flap designs and irrigating solutions. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three irrigating solutions, hydrocortisone, povidone-iodine, and normal saline, on pain, trismus, and edema following surgical removal of the impacted mandibular third molar. Methodology The study involved 105 participants who required surgical extraction of mandibular third molars. The patients' ages ranged from 18 to 40 years, and they fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Using a simple random sampling technique, they were divided into three groups (group 1: hydrocortisone, group 2: povidone-iodine, group 3: normal saline). The parameters evaluated were edema, pain, and trismus on the second and seventh postoperative days. All data were input into Microsoft Excel (Microsoft® Corp., Redmond, USA) worksheets and analyzed using Stata 17.0 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, USA). The visual analog scale (VAS) score was used to measure postoperative pain, and postoperative swelling was measured using linear measurements from four fixed anatomical points and compared to preoperative values. To assess trismus, the inter-incisal distance was measured in millimeters with a caliper. A p-value of <0.01 was considered statistically significant. Results The mean VAS score for pain in group 1 was lower than the other two groups. The effect of group 1 was significant on the second postoperative day but insignificant on the seventh postoperative day for swelling. The effect of all three groups on trismus was significant on the second and seventh days. Conclusions Hydrocortisone as an irrigating solution showed promising results in managing postoperative swelling in the first 48 hours, but its effect gradually declined by the seventh postoperative day. Additionally, it was effective in controlling postoperative pain and trismus. This suggests that utilizing hydrocortisone as an irrigating solution, compared to povidone-iodine, has been proven to be a significantly effective option in reducing postoperative pain, edema, and trismus resulting from the surgical removal of impacted teeth.

Abstract
For decades, surgeons have utilized 0.9% normal saline (NS) for joint irrigation to improve visualization during arthroscopic procedures. This continues despite mounting evidence that NS exposure impairs chondrocyte metabolism and compromises articular cartilage function. We hypothesized that chondrocyte oxidative stress induced by low pH is the dominant factor driving NS toxicity, and that buffering NS to increase its pH would mitigate these effects. Effects on chondrocyte viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and overall metabolic function were assessed. Even brief exposure to NS caused cell death, ROS overproduction, and disruption of glycolysis, pentose phosphate, and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle pathways. NS also stimulated ROS overproduction in synovial cells that could adversely alter the synovial function and subsequently the entire joint health. Buffering NS with 25 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) significantly increased chondrocyte viability, reduced ROS production, and returned metabolite levels to near control levels while also reducing ROS production in synovial cells. These results confirm that chondrocytes and synoviocytes are vulnerable to insult from the acidic pH of NS and demonstrate that adding a buffering agent to NS averts many of its most harmful effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection (HD) outcomes using two commonly used injectate volumes (10 and 5 mL) of normal saline to explore if there is a volume effect of HD for patients with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to treatment with HD using ultrasound-guidance and either 10 mL or 5 mL of normal saline (HD-10 and HD-5 groups respectively). Our primary outcome measures were the change scores of the two subscales of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire: The Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Functional Status Scale (FSS). We conducted a one-way repeated analysis of variance for 3 time points (4, 12, and 24 weeks) for both SSS and FSS, respectively, for change scores from time 0, and percentage change from time 0. RESULTS All participants (n = 12 per group) completed the study. From 0 to 24 weeks the HD-10 group outperformed the HD-5 group for improvement in SSS (median ± IQR; -0.8 ± 0.4 versus -0.5 ± 0.5; P = .024) and FSS scores (mean ± SD; -0.8 ± 0.2 versus -0.5 ± 0.5; P = .011). The HD-10 group improvement in FSS subtest significantly exceeded the MCID percentage-change-based threshold of 27% (34%; P = .039). CONCLUSIONS Despite the limitations of small study size, a largely inert injectate, and a single injection approach, these findings in favor of the 10 mL group suggest that the volume used for ultrasound-guided HD in moderate CTS matters, and a higher volume is more effective.

Abstract
AIM To conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the role of heparin versus normal saline lock in the care of peripheral intravenous catheters. DESIGN A meta-analysis. METHODS This meta-analysis searched nine databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on heparin versus normal saline for the care of peripheral intravenous catheters in children up to April 5, 2023. The quality of included RCTs was evaluated using the risk of bias tool of Cochrane library. RevMan5.3 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS Ten RCTs with a total of 1255 children were involved. Meta-analysis indicated that heparin lock reduced the incidence of blockage of peripheral intravenous catheter [OR = 2.01, 95% CI (1.42,2.84), p < 0.001], prolonged the duration of peripheral intravenous catheter indwelling[MD = -0.43, 95% CI (-0.75, -0.11), p = 0.008]. There were no statistical differences in the incidence of phlebitis [OR = 1.02, 95% CI (0.59, 1.74), p = 0.95 W]. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Heparin may have more benefits in the nursing care of peripheral intravenous catheters compared with normal saline.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The presence of ureteral stones can cause pain, infections of urinary tract and hydronephrosis, resulting in the loss of renal function. For two decades, Ureteroscopy and laser stone fragmentation (URSL) attained a big rise and is the first line management for large ureteric stones and renal stones up to 2 cm. The present study was conducted to assess the success rate of ureteroscopic lithotripsy in treatment of ureteric calculus after local administration of aminophylline. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 patients having ureteric calculi <20 mm in size, aged 20-60 years were included in the study and randomly divided into Group A (n = 50) with administration of local aminophylline and Group B (n = 50) with administration of saline infusion. Ureteroscopy was performed after 5 min of administration of the solution. URSL was done using pneumatic lithoclast and/or laser. Various parameters like duration of procedure, ease of ureteral access, requirement of DJ Stent and need of further operative interventions were compared between case and control groups. The data was collected and then subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS 20.0 version at significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS The mean age of study subjects having ureteral stones was found to be between 31 and 40 years of age with males being more affected. We observed less mean duration of surgery, higher success rate, easy ureteral access (p-value < 0.05) with aminophylline use than control group. The need of ureteral stent and Auxiliary procedures was significantly higher in the control than in the case group (38%). CONCLUSION The use of aminophylline has been found to be highly useful and effective in reducing the need of stents and secondary surgery, decreased pain, and increased success rate. Thus, the use of aminophylline is recommended during URSL procedure for the successful management of ureteral calculi.

Abstract
Extremely premature infants are at a higher risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome and circulatory impairments in the first few weeks of life. Administration of normal saline boluses to manage hypotension is a common practice in preterm infants. As a crystalloid, a substantial proportion might leak into the interstitium; most consequently the lungs in the preterm cohorts, putatively affecting ventilation. We downloaded and analyzed ventilator mechanics data in infants managed by conventional mechanical ventilation and administered normal saline bolus for clinical reasons. Data were downloaded for 30 min prebolus, 60 min during the bolus followed by 30 min postbolus. Sixteen infants (mean gestational age 25.2 ± 1 wk and birth weight 620 ± 60 g) were administered 10 mL/kg normal saline over 60 min. The most common clinical indication for saline was hypotension. No significant increase was noted in mean blood pressure after the saline bolus. A significant reduction in pulmonary compliance (mL/cmH2O/kg) was noted (0.43 ± 0.07 vs. 0.38 ± 0.07 vs. 0.33 ± 0.07, P = 0.003, ANOVA). This was accompanied by an elevation in the required peak inspiratory pressure to deliver set volume-guarantee (19 ± 2 vs. 22 ± 2 vs. 22 ± 3 mmHg, P < 0.0001, ANOVA), resulting in a higher respiratory severity score. Normal saline infusion therapy was associated with adverse pulmonary mechanics. Relevant pathophysiologic mechanisms might include translocation of fluid across pulmonary capillaries affected by low vascular tone and heightened permeability in extremes of prematurity, back-pressure effects from raised left atrial volume due to immature left-ventricular myocardium; complemented by the effect of cytokine release from positive pressure ventilation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Administration of saline boluses is common in premature infants although hypovolemia is an uncommon underlying cause of hypotension. This crystalloid can redistribute into pulmonary interstitial space. In the presence of an immature myocardium and diastolic dysfunction, excess fluid can also be "edemagenic." This study on extremely premature infants (25 wk gestation) noted adverse influence on respiratory physiology after saline infusion. Clinicians need to choose judiciously and reconsider routine use of saline boluses in premature infants.

Abstract
Background Conventional amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmBd) is the preferred amphotericin B formulation in countries with limited resources despite its nephrotoxicity. Normal saline pre-infusion is a recommended measure to reduce the risk of nephrotoxicity in patients receiving AmBd. Objectives To examine the effect of different normal saline solution (NSS) pre-infusion doses, and other potential risk factors, on the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with invasive fungal infection receiving AmBd. Methods Adult patients with invasive fungal infections who received intravenous AmBd were included in this retrospective study. Doses of the normal saline pre-infusion were adjusted to the body weight (NSS/BW) and the daily dose of amphotericin B (NSS/AmBd). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate 14 d AKI-free survival rates, and the log-rank test was used to compare AKI-free survivals between groups. Results The present study included 60 patients; 31 patients developed AKI during the AmBd therapy. The overall 14 d AKI-free survival was 48.3%. NSS/AmBd, but not NSS/BW, was associated with AKI-free survival in patients receiving AmBd: the higher the NSS/AmBd, the higher the AKI-free survival. Gender, baseline blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and baseline plasma bicarbonate (Bicarb) also affected AKI-free survival. Female gender, higher BUN, and lower Bicarb were associated with higher AKI-free survival. Conclusions The present study suggests that low NSS/AmBd, male gender, low BUN, and high Bicarb are risk factors for AmBd-associated AKI. Excluding gender, these risk factors are potentially modifiable and would guide tailoring appropriate preventive measures for AmBd-associated AKI.

Abstract
Introduction Oral and maxillofacial surgeons frequently perform the removal of impacted mandibular third molars. The success of this surgical intervention depends on meticulous surgical technique and the use of appropriate irrigants to minimize complications in the postoperative period. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of four different irrigation solutions (povidone-iodine, metronidazole, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), and normal saline) on postoperative sequelae like pain, trismus, swelling, and alveolar osteitis following surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molars. Materials and methods The current research was a randomized study carried out at Saveetha Dental College and Hospital in Chennai, India, from December 2022 to March 2023. The study population consisted of 112 participants who were referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. The population was divided into four groups, with 28 in each group. They were categorized as A, B, C, and D based on the final irrigation solution used after surgical removal of the impacted teeth. In group A, patients received 0.5% povidone-iodine as the final irrigation solution; group B received 1% metronidazole; group C received 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX); and group D received 0.9% normal saline. Patients were examined on the first and seventh postoperative days to assess pain, swelling, trismus, and alveolar osteitis. The results were analyzed with SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0 (Released 2015; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States) software for Windows (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, United States). A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Group B experienced significantly less pain than groups A, C, and D on the first and seventh postoperative days (p<0.05). The facial swelling was significantly less on the first and seventh postoperative day in group B compared to groups A, B, and D (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant variation observed in trismus (mouth opening) across the groups on both the first postoperative and seventh postoperative days. The presence of alveolar osteitis was seen in groups A, C, and D, but no instances were reported in group B. Conclusion It can be concluded that among the four irrigation solutions used in the lower third molar surgery, metronidazole irrigation solution yielded the best results in terms of less pain, swelling, and alveolar osteitis followed by chlorhexidine. There was no difference between povidone-iodine irrigation and normal saline irrigation on the postoperative sequelae. Postoperative trismus does not depend on the irrigation solution used in the third molar surgery.

Abstract
There are several clinical practice guidelines concerning the use of fluid and vasoactive drug therapies in critically ill adult patients, but the recommendations in these guidelines are often based on low-quality evidence. Further, some were compiled prior to the publication of landmark clinical trials, particularly in the comparison of balanced crystalloid and normal saline. An important consideration in the treatment of critically ill patients is the application of precision medicine to provide the most effective care to groups of patients most likely to benefit from the therapy. Although not currently widely integrated into these practice guidelines, the utility of precision medicine in critical illness is a recognized research priority for fluid and vasoactive therapy management. The purpose of this narrative review was to illustrate the evaluation and challenges of providing precision fluid and vasoactive therapies to adult critically ill patients. The review includes a discussion of important investigations published after the release of currently available clinical practice guidelines to provide insight into how recommendations and research priorities may change future guidelines and bedside care for critically ill patients.

Abstract
Objective The type of fluid that should be used in uncontrollable hemorrhages remains an area of research. This study was designed to compare the effects of resuscitation with Ringer's lactate (RL) solution versus a normal saline (NS) solution on hemodynamics, renal tissue histopathology, coagulation, and apoptosis in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock. Methods The study employed groups designated as the control, hemorrhage, NS, and RL groups. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and respiratory rate were monitored. Annexin A5 values were assayed, rotational thromboelastometry analysis was performed, and excised kidney tissue samples were histopathologically analyzed. Results Blood pressure levels were found to be significantly higher in the control group than those measured in the other groups. While the clotting time (CT) and clot formation time (CFT) in the hemorrhage group were significantly longer than those in the control and RL groups, the CT and CFT measured in the control group were significantly shorter compared to the RL group. The mean Annexin A5 level was in the hemorrhage group, which was significantly higher compared to the other groups. In the renal histopathological evaluation, the scores of proximal tubular injury, distal renal tubular injury, and interstitial renal tubular injury were found to be significantly lower in the control group compared to the other groups. Conclusion This study demonstrated that NS or RL can be used safely to improve the hemodynamic symptoms resulting from hemorrhagic shock as a means to reduce apoptosis, and to decrease findings in favor of coagulopathy in bedside coagulation tests during the early stages of hemorrhagic shock until the time of starting a blood transfusion.

Abstract
Background Fluid resuscitation is routinely needed for critically ill patients. However, the optimal choice between crystalloids and normal saline is in heat debate. Objective To conduct a meta-analysis comparing normal saline and balanced crystalloids in the treatment of critically ill patients with composite mortality as the primary outcome. Methods PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception up to March 2022. Studies of critically ill adult patients assigned to receive normal saline or balanced crystalloids were included. We conducted a meta-analysis using an inverse variance, random-effects model in addition to trial sequential analysis (TSA). The primary outcome was composite mortality. Subgroup analyses were also conducted. Results Eighteen full-text studies (n=36,224) were included. Balanced crystalloids were associated with lower mortality compared with normal saline (risk ratio [RR]=0.96; 95% confidential interval [CI] 0.93, 1; p=0.03; I2=0) and lower incidence of acute kidney injury/acute renal failure (RR =0.93; 95% CI = 0.87, 0.99; p=0.03). No significant difference was observed in other outcomes. In the sepsis patients, the balanced crystalloid showed a lower composite mortality rate compared with normal saline (RR =0.91; 95% CI = 0.85, 0.99; p=0.02). TSA analysis demonstrated that, with 80% power, the effect of balanced crystalloid is not larger than a 10% relative decrease in composite mortality compared with normal saline. Conclusion and Relevance This study demonstrated that balanced crystalloids could be an optimal choice over normal saline in critically ill patients to a reduced composite mortality rate. In patients with sepsis, the difference is especially significant. Nonetheless, the optimal resuscitation fluid option between saline and balanced crystalloid solutions should be investigated further with more evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Normal saline (NS) and Ringer's lactate (RL) are the most common crystalloids given to hospitalized patients. Despite concern about possible harm associated with NS (eg, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, impaired kidney function, and death), few large multicenter randomized trials focused on critically ill patients have compared these fluids. Uncertainty exists about the effects of these fluids on clinically important outcomes across all hospitalized patients. OBJECTIVE The FLUID trial is a pragmatic, multicenter, 2×2 cluster crossover comparative effectiveness randomized trial that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-wide policy that stocks either NS or RL as the main crystalloid fluid in 16 hospitals across Ontario, Canada. METHODS All hospitalized adult and pediatric patients (anticipated sample size 144,000 patients) with an incident admission to the hospital over the course of each study period will be included. Either NS or RL will be preferentially stocked throughout the hospital for 12 weeks before crossing to the alternate fluid for the subsequent 12 weeks. The primary outcome is a composite of death and hospital readmission within 90 days of hospitalization. Secondary outcomes include death, hospital readmission, dialysis, reoperation, postoperative reintubation, length of hospital stay, emergency department visits, and discharge to a facility other than home. All outcomes will be obtained from health administrative data, eliminating the need for individual case reports. The primary analysis will use cluster-level summaries to estimate cluster-average treatment effects. RESULTS The statistical analysis plan has been prepared "a priori" in advance of receipt of the trial data set from ICES and any analyses. CONCLUSIONS We describe the protocol and statistical analysis plan for the evaluation of primary and secondary outcomes for the FLUID trial.

Abstract
Despite its known harmful effects, normal saline is still commonly used in the treatment of hypovolemia in polytrauma patients. Given the lack of pre-hospital research on this topic, the current study aims to assess the current practice of fluid administration during the pre-hospital phase of care and its effects on initial metabolic acid-base status in trauma patients. We extracted and completed data from patients recorded in the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) trauma registry between 2008 and 2019. Patients were selected according to their age, the availability of a blood gas analysis after arrival at the emergency room, data availability in the trauma registry, and the modality of arrival in the ED. The dominantly administered pre-hospital fluid was normal saline. No association between the type of fluid administered during the pre-hospital phase and the presence of hyperchloremic acidosis in the ED was observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this literature review was to establish the evidence for using tap water as opposed to normal saline for cleansing wounds in adults. Tap water is widely available and non-toxic to wounds, making it a cost-effective solution for wound cleansing. Despite that, contrary opinions exist with regard to its safety, such as: fear of wound colonisation by Pseudomonas spp. found in plumbing systems of healthcare facilities; damage to the wound bed; or increased pain when tap water is used for wound cleansing. METHOD A PICO model was used as a guide to form the title, and the standards for inclusion and exclusion of studies were prespecified to form the eligibility criteria. The search was conducted using a range of databases, including CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. RESULTS Included were seven studies: five randomised controlled trials (RCTs), a quasi-RCT and a cross-sectional study. Of these, six studies demonstrated that use of tap water had no significant influence on wound infection rates when compared to normal saline; four studies established no adverse results or benefits when using tap water or normal saline for wound cleansing; and one study demonstrated that tap water did not increase wound contamination. Also, one study reported no impact on wound healing when tap water or normal saline were used for cleansing; four established that tap water was cost-effective compared to normal saline; and one demonstrated increased patient satisfaction when tap water was used for wound irrigation. CONCLUSION Current evidence supports tap water as a safe and cost-effective solution for wound cleansing.

Abstract
Background and aim The type of fluid which is administered to patients is very crucial and important. In this study normal saline is compared with PlasmaLyte A in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumors. Generally normal saline is used in neurosurgical patients; it is seen to be associated with hyperchloremic acidosis. A balanced crystalloid, e.g. PlasmaLyte A, maintains a better metabolic status than normal saline. This study was planned to study the metabolic effects of using PlasmaLyte A as compared with normal saline as intravenous fluids in patients undergoing supratentorial brain tumour surgeries. Methods This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumors. Written informed consent was taken from patients and they were divided into two groups, Group A and B of 40 patients each by computer-generated random numbers. Group A received PlasmaLyte A and Group B received normal saline intra-operatively as maintenance fluid. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, total fluid administered, serum sodium, serum potassium, chloride, lactate, pH, serum urea, serum creatinine, osmolarity, and urine output were assessed at different time intervals in both groups. Blood urea and creatinine were assessed to see acute kidney injury. Results There was no difference in mean values of serum sodium, potassium, lactate, serum urea, creatinine and serum osmolarity in both groups throughout the study period. However there was a rise in serum chloride and a low pH was noted in Group B. The urine output was also similar in both groups. The metabolic status of patients receiving PlasmaLyte was better than those receiving normal saline. Conclusion Normal saline may cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis which may be avoided by using balanced crystalloids. The use of balanced crystalloids should be preferred to normal saline in neurosurgical patients to ensure a better metabolic status and good clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background Administration of intravenous (IV) solutions constitutes a key component of acute kidney injury (AKI) management. However, the optimal IV fluid solution in the setting of AKI remains uncertain. In this study, we assessed whether the use of bicarbonate-containing solution in patients with established AKI is associated with early renal recovery as compared to bicarbonate-free solutions. Methods We performed an open-label observational pilot study in 59 patients with established AKI. IV fluid solutions that were used include bicarbonate-based solution with low chloride content (80 mEq/L of 8% sodium bicarbonate in a solution that contains 77 mEq/L of sodium, 77 mEq/L of chloride and 25 g/L of glucose) or solutions without bicarbonate with high chloride content (0.9% normal saline, 0.45% half-saline, normal ringer, or 4% succinylated gelatine). We evaluated the association of IV fluids type with renal recovery. Results The median age of study participants was 66 years (inter-quartile range (IQR) 37-85), and 59% (n=35) were men. The prevalence of diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-3 were 34% (n=20) and 39% (n=23), respectively. Patients who received bicarbonate-based IV solutions had a greater reduction of serum creatinine (sCr) per day (delta sCr) as compared with patients who received bicarbonate-free solutions (-0.29±0.47 vs. 0.07±0.42; p=0.007). The renal recovery was faster in patients who received bicarbonate-based solutions as compared to the bicarbonate-free group (days from peak sCr to baseline sCr: 5.6±2.1 vs. 7.6±2.8; p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions We observed faster renal recovery in patients with established AKI who received the bicarbonate-based solution with low chloride content. Our study findings require confirmation in larger cohorts.

Abstract
The first-line treatment of diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) involves fluid resuscitation with normal saline infusion to correct hypovolemia. Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis from aggressive normal saline administration was associated with worse clinical outcomes in managing DKA. Other choices for normal saline include balanced electrolyte solutions (BESs). This study aimed to compare the clinical effects between BESs and normal saline in managing DKA. This study was a systematic review of probing articles published from inception to October 2021 in Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Eight randomized controlled trials with a total of 595 individuals were included. The data were analyzed at 95% confidence level using random-effects models. For the primary outcomes, there was no difference in the duration of DKA resolution. (Mean difference [MD] -4.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] -2.72-4.92; I2 = 92%; P = 0.180). However, there was a significantly lower postresuscitation chloride concentration in the BES (MD 2.96 95% CI - 4.86 to - 1.06; I2 = 59%; P = 0.002). For the secondary outcomes, there was a significant reduction in duration for normalization of bicarbonate in the BES group (MD 3.11 95% CI - 3.98-2.23; I2 = 5%; P = 0.0004). There were no significant differences between groups in duration for recovery of pH, intensive unit admission, and adverse events (mortality and acute renal failure). Resuscitation with BES was associated with decreased chloride and increased bicarbonate values in DKA patients. It suggests that BES prevents DKA patients from hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
Background The choice of intraoperative fluid in neurosurgical patients is important as we need to maintain adequate cerebral perfusion and oxygenation and also avoid cerebral edema. Normal saline (NS) is commonly used in neurosurgeries, but it leads to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, which may result in coagulopathy. Balanced crystalloid with physiochemical composition akin to that of plasma has favorable effects on metabolic profile and may avoid the problems associated with NS. Against this background, the present study aimed to compare the effects of NS versus PlasmaLyte (PL) on coagulation profile in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures. Methods This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was conducted in 100 adult patients scheduled to undergo various neurosurgical procedures. Patients were randomly allocated in two groups of 50 each to receive either NS or PL intraoperatively and postoperatively till 4 hours after the surgery. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, coagulation profile (PT, PTT, and INR), serum chloride, pH, blood urea, and serum creatinine were measured prior to induction (baseline) and 4 hours after completion of surgery. Results Demographic characteristics were statistically similar between the two groups. Coagulation profile parameters were comparable between the two groups at baseline as well as 4 hours after surgery. pH was significantly lower in the NS group as compared to the PL group at 4 hours after surgery. Postoperatively blood urea, serum creatinine, and serum chloride levels were significantly raised in the NS group as compared to the PL group. Hemoglobin and hematocrit values were similar between the two groups. Conclusion Coagulation profile parameters were normal and statistically similar with intraoperative infusion of NS versus PL in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures. However, use of PL was associated with a better acid-base and renal profile in these patients.

Abstract
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the patient-reported outcomes of intra-articular facet joint injections of normal saline and selected active substances to identify a more effective agent for treating subacute and chronic low back pain (LBP). Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL databases were searched for randomized controlled trials and observational studies published in English. A research quality assessment was performed using ROB2 and ROBINS-I. A meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model, and the mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) in efficacy outcomes, including pain, numbness, disability, and quality of life, were assessed. Results: Of the 2467 potential studies, 3 were included (247 patients). The active substances and normal saline had similar therapeutic effects on pain within 1 h, after 1-1.5 months, and after 3-6 months, with MD and 95% CI of 2.43 and -11.61 to 16.50, -0.63 and -7.97 to 6.72, and 1.90 and -16.03 to 19.83, respectively, as well as on the quality of life after 1 and 6 months. Conclusions: The short- and long-term clinical effects of intra-articular facet joint injections of normal saline are comparable to those of other active substances in patients with LBP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central venous catheter (CVC) maintenance is critical in administering chemotherapy, transfusions, and high-frequency laboratory draws. Although normal saline (NS) flushes have been associated with similar incidences of irreversible port occlusions as heparin among adult patients with cancer and ports, additional research is needed regarding NS efficacy in other central line maintenance within large populations with cancer. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze changes in reported CVC line patency via tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration rates in ports and other central lines because of an institutional switch from heparin to NS as preferred flushes in adult ambulatory patients with cancer. METHODS Retrospective data were collected from patients with ports (3,706 prepolicy, 3,402 postpolicy) and nonport CVCs (816 prepolicy, 694 postpolicy). FINDINGS Patients with nonport CVCs experienced similar tPA usage pre- versus postpolicy, versus an increased rate of tPA usage for ports. This policy resulted in institutional savings of $28,695.92. NS flushes are as effective as heparin for maintaining patency in ports and other CVCs for adult outpatients with cancer and address safety concerns with heparin-associated complications.

Abstract
Intravenous fluids (IVF) like normal saline (NS) and Ringer's lactate (RL) are often crucial in the management of hospitalized patients. Mishandling these fluids can lead to complications in about 20% of patients receiving them. In this review, we present the current evidence through the identification of observational studies and randomized trials that observed the optimal use of IVF. We found that NS may cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in surgical patients, but there is no clear difference in mortality and long-term outcomes between NS and balanced crystalloids. Critically ill patients, particularly those in sepsis, benefit from balanced crystalloids, as high chloride content fluids like NS increase the risk of complications and mortality. In pancreatitis, NS has been shown to increase the risk of ICU admission when compared to RL; however, there is no significant difference in long-term outcomes and mortality between the fluids. RL is preferred for burns due to its isotonicity and lack of protein, preventing edema formation in an already dehydrated state. Plasma-lyte may resolve diabetic ketoacidosis faster, while prolonged NS use can lead to metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury, and cerebral edema. In conclusion, NS, RL, and plasma-lyte are the most commonly used isotonic IVF in the hospital population. Incorrect choice of fluids in a different clinical scenario can lead to worse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid resuscitation with normal saline (NS) can aggravate lactate production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of small-volume resuscitation using 3% hypertonic sodium chloride (HS) and its comparison with NS in trauma patients. The primary endpoint was an increase in lactate clearance after 1 hr of fluid resuscitation. The secondary endpoint was the incidence of hemodynamic stability, the volume of transfusion, correction of metabolic acidosis, and complications such as fluid overload and abnormal serum sodium levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was a prospective, randomized, single-blind study. The study was conducted on 60 patients who arrived at the trauma center for emergency operative intervention. Inclusion criteria for patient selection were trauma victims of age more than 18 years and the requirement of emergency operative intervention for trauma except for traumatic brain injury. Patients were divided into two groups: Group HS (hypertonic saline) and Group NS (normal saline). Patients were resuscitated with either 3% HS (4ml/kg) or 0.9% NS (20ml/kg). RESULTS The HS group had higher lactate clearance at 1 hour compared to the NS group, and this difference was statistically significant with a p-value of <0.001. When hemodynamic parameters were compared at 30 and 60 minutes after resuscitation, the HS group had a significantly lower heart rate (p<0.05 at 30 minutes and <0.001 at 60 minutes, respectively), a higher mean arterial pressure at 60 minutes (p<0.001), a higher pH at 60 minutes (p< 0.05), and a higher bicarbonate concentration at 60 minutes (p<0.05). The HS and NS groups had significant differences in serum sodium levels at 60 minutes (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Resuscitation with 3% hypertonic saline improved lactate clearance. Lower volumes of fluid infusion for resuscitation achieved better hemodynamic stability and correction of metabolic acidosis in the hypertonic saline group. Our study shows that hypertonic saline can be a promising fluid for small-volume resuscitation in trauma patients with compensated mild to moderate shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of isotonic normal saline (NS) versus water post-Ryles Tube (RT) feeding upon hyponatremia and blood parameters in Intensive Care Units (ICU) admitted patients. METHODS A parallel group randomized controlled trial design. The total sample size taken for this pilot trial was N = 50 as a thumb rule (n = 25 in each arm) selected by using a simple random sampling method. The sample was ICU-admitted patients with mild and moderate hyponatremia.at tertiary care hospital, Rishikesh. Intervention-20 mL Isotonic 0.9% normal saline (NS) among the experimental group vs. 20 mL water in the control group after each 9 am Ryles tube feeding respectively for three continuous days. At baseline and follow-up electrolytes, blood parameters, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and blood pressures were assessed post-one hour of intervention daily for day-1, 2, 3 & 5. Data were analyzed by using descriptive & inferential statistics in the SPSS software 23.0 version. RESULTS There was a significant difference found between the experimental and control groups for the post-test value of serum sodium levels, GCS, Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at day 1 of administration of normal saline intervention with p-value < 0.0001. However, it was found significant at day 5 between both groups for the above-mentioned variables. CONCLUSION The intervention of normal saline was found to be a cheaper and more effective remedy to treat hyponatremia and reduce mortality among ICU-admitted patients due to deterioration in bio-physiological parameters.

Abstract
Background and Aim This study evaluates the salivary viral load of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in hospitalized patients and outpatients before and after gargling with 1% hydrogen peroxide and 0.25% povidone-iodine in comparison with normal saline. Patients and Methods This clinical trial was conducted on 120 participants with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in two groups: outpatients (n = 60) and hospitalized patients (n = 60). In each group, the patients were randomly divided into three subgroups of 20 based on their given mouthwash for gargling (hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, or normal saline). Two saliva samples were taken from each patient: the first one before gargling and the second one 10 minutes after gargling 10 ml of the respected mouthwashes for 30 seconds. The TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of SARS-CoV-2 was used to measure the viral load. Results Saliva samples from 46% of patients were positive for coronavirus before gargling the mouthwashes. The percentage of patients with an initial positive saliva sample was significantly higher in the outpatient group (83.3%) than in the hospitalized group (5.4%) (P = 0.01). According to the findings, gargling any mouthwash similar to saline did not reduce the viral load (P > 0.05). Conclusion The saliva of COVID-19 patients in the initial stage of the disease was more likely to contain SARS-CoV-2 than the saliva of the hospitalized patients. Gargling hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine did not reduce the salivary SARS-CoV-2 viral load.

Abstract
The primary aim was to describe the incidence and causes of abnormal distribution of 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) among patients who underwent renal scans in Royal Hospital (Oman) in 2020. The secondary aim was to assess the effect of a specific batch of normal saline A (batch 132129) compared with another normal saline, B (batches 132589 and 133325), used in the preparation of 99mTc-DMSA on the abnormal biodistribution of 99mTc-DMSA. Methods: This was an ambidirectional cohort study that included all patients who underwent 99mTc-DMSA renal scanning between January and December 2020. Both prospective and retrospective data collection was used. The collected data included possible causes of abnormal biodistribution, quality of 99mTc-DMSA and normal saline, and time of 99mTc-DMSA injection. Results: The total incidence of abnormal biodistribution was 26.5%, with the most common cause being a high creatinine level (29%). Normal saline batch A was significantly associated with abnormal biodistribution (49.7%), compared with batch B (6.6%) (P < 0.001). This association was more prominent among patients injected with the 99mTc-DMSA preparation after 2 h (83.0%) compared with before 2 h (13.3%). Conclusion: A high incidence of abnormal biodistribution of 99mTc-DMSA was detected and-for what is the first time, to our knowledge, in the literature-a specific preservative-free, normal saline that is up to standard has been identified as a significant cause of abnormal biodistribution. Nuclear medicine professionals and pharmaceutical companies should take note of this possible cause of abnormal 99mTc-DMSA biodistribution.

Abstract
Introduction Normal saline (N/S) and Ringer's-Lactate (L/R), are administered in everyday clinical practice. Despite that, N/S increases the risk of sodium overload and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. In contrast, L/R has lower sodium content, significantly less chloride and contains lactates. In this study we compare the efficacy of L/R versus N/S administration in patients with prerenal acute kidney injury (AKI) and pre-established chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods In this prospective open-label study we included patients with prerenal AKI and previously known CKD stage III-V without need for dialysis. Patients with other forms of AKI, hypervolemia or hyperkalemia were excluded. Patients received either N/S or L/R intravenously at a dose of 20 ml/kg body-weight/day. We studied kidney function at discharge and at 30 days, duration of hospitalization, acid-base balance and the need for dialysis. Results We studied 38 patients and 20 were treated with N/S. Kidney function improvement during hospitalization and at 30 days after discharge, was similar between the two groups. Duration of hospitalization was also similar. Anion-gap improvement as expressed with Δanion-gap between discharge and admission day was higher in those patients that received L/R in comparison to those that received N/S and pH increase (ΔpH) was slightly higher in the L/R group. No patient required dialysis. Conclusions Administration of L/R or N/S to patients with prerenal AKI and pre-established CKD had no significant difference in short or long term kidney function but L/R showed a better profile in acid-base balance improvement and Cl- overload in comparison to N/S.

Abstract
AIM The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the post-operative anti-inflammatory efficacy of chlorhexidine (CHX), 2% saline rinses (SR) and a herbal mouthwash (MW) after non-surgical mechanical debridement (MD) for treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PiM). The aim was to compare the post-operative anti-inflammatory efficacy of CHX, 2% SR and a herbal oral rinse after non-surgical MD of PiM. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present randomized controlled trial had a single-blinded parallel arm design. Patients diagnosed with PiM were enrolled. Demographic information was recorded. All patients underwent MD and were randomly divided into 4 groups: CHX-group: 0.12% non-alcoholic CHX; Sodium chloride (NaCl) group: 2% NaCl rinses; Herbal MW group: Herbal-based MW and H2 O group: distilled water with peppermint flavour. After MD, all the participants were advised to rinse twice daily (every 12 hrs) for 2 weeks with their respective MWs. In all groups, peri-implant modified plaque index (mPI), modified gingival index (mGI) and probing depth (PD) were measured at baseline and at 12 weeks of follow-up. Sample size was estimated using data from a pilot investigation; and group-comparisons were performed. Statistical significance was confirmed when P-values were below 0.01. RESULTS Sixty individuals (15 patients/group) were included. At baseline, mPI, mGI and PD were comparable in all groups. At baseline, there was no significant difference in peri-implant mPI, mGI and PD in all groups. At 12-weeks' follow-up, there was a statistically significant reduction in peri-implant mPI (p < 0.01), mGI (p < 0.01) and PD (p < 0.01) in CHX, NaCl and herbal MW groups compared with H2 O group. There was no significant relation between implant location, duration for which, implants were functional, gender and peri-implant clinical parameters in all groups. CONCLUSION After non-surgical MD, post-operative use of CHX and herbal and NaCl MWs is useful for the management of PiM in the short-term.

Abstract
Background The Surviving Sepsis Campaign suggested preferential resuscitation with balanced crystalloids, such as Lactated Ringer's (LR), although the level of recommendation was weak, and the quality of evidence was low. Past studies reported an association of unbalanced solutions, such as normal saline (NS), with increased AKI risks, metabolic acidosis, and prolonged ICU stay, although some of the findings are conflicting. We have compared the outcomes with the preferential use of normal saline vs. ringer's lactate in a cohort of sepsis patients. Method We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients visiting the ED of 19 different Mayo Clinic sites between August 2018 to November 2020 with sepsis and receiving at least 30 mL/kg fluid in the first 6 h. Patients were divided into two cohorts based on the type of resuscitation fluid (LR vs. NS) and propensity-matching was done based on clinical characteristics as well as fluid amount (with 5 ml/kg). Single variable logistic regression (categorical outcomes) and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to compare the primary and secondary outcomes between the 2 groups. Results Out of 2022 patients meeting our inclusion criteria; 1,428 (70.6%) received NS, and 594 (29.4%) received LR as the predominant fluid (>30 mL/kg). Patients receiving predominantly NS were more likely to be male and older in age. The LR cohort had a higher BMI, lactate level and incidence of septic shock. Propensity-matched analysis did not show a difference in 30-day and in-hospital mortality rate, mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, or CRRT requirement. We did observe longer hospital LOS in the LR group (median 5 vs. 4 days, p = 0.047 and higher requirement for ICU post-admission (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.51-0.96; p = 0.026) in the NS group. However, these did not remain statistically significant after adjustment for multiple testing. Conclusion In our matched cohort, we did not show any statistically significant difference in mortality rates, hospital LOS, ICU admission after diagnosis, mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy and RRT between sepsis patients receiving lactated ringers and normal saline as predominant resuscitation fluid. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to solidify the current guidelines on the use of balanced crystalloids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endotracheal intubation for airway management in general anesthesia is associated with post-intubation morbidities due to tracheal mucosa injury caused by endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff. Nitrous oxide (N2O) diffuses into tracheal tube cuffs filled with air. The rate of diffusion of N2O through the membrane is proportional to its concentration gradient. High-volume low-pressure cuffs expand with only a slight increase in pressure until fully inflated. At this point, owing to the inelasticity of the material, the cuff pressure rises rapidly. This increased pressure can damage the tracheal mucosa. This phenomenon can be avoided, if we inflate the cuff with either a liquid or a gas mixture identical to the inspired gas and monitor the cuff pressure and volume at regular intervals. When lignocaine is used to inflate the ETT cuff, it diffuses to the underlying tracheal mucosa. Thus reducing local irritation and inflammation of the airway through its local anesthetic action. Alkalinization of lignocaine increases its rate of diffusion across the ETT cuff. It also reduces the dose of local anesthetic required to achieve the desired result. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the benefits of filling the ETT cuff with alkalinized lignocaine 2% over normal saline, to prevent ETT-induced emergence phenomenon and reduce the incidence of post-intubation morbidities like sore throat, hoarseness, and nausea. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective, randomized, double-blind, and comparative study was done at a multispecialty hospital. A total of 120 individuals of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1 and 2, posted for surgery under general anesthesia, were randomly selected and divided into two groups: alkalinized 2% lignocaine group (group L) and normal saline group (group S). After induction of general anesthesia, the airway was secured with appropriate-sized ETT. The ETT cuff was inflated with either of the study media. Continuous cuff pressure monitoring was done to keep cuff pressure below 30 centimeters of water (cm of H2O), at all times. At extubation, the response was evaluated in terms of percentage change in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure from baseline, coughing, bucking, and restlessness. All the surgeries lasted more than two hours. Post-operatively, the patients were evaluated for sore throat and hoarseness, at regular intervals of up to 24 hours. OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS ETT cuff pressure was initially less in group S, which rose to a significantly higher level at extubation, compared to group L (p <0.001). At extubation, there was a significant increase in HR and systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline, in group S than in group L (p <0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). The incidence of cough and restlessness was less in group L, compared to group S (p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). Mean extubation time and emergence time was more in group S than in group L (p<0.001). Post-operatively, the incidence and severity of sore throat were significantly higher in group S than in group L (p<0.001). Meanwhile, the incidence of hoarseness and nausea was comparable in the two groups. CONCLUSION Continuous ETT cuff pressure monitoring helps to keep cuff pressure below tracheal mucosa capillary occlusion pressure. Filling the ETT cuff with alkalinized lignocaine further reduces extubation response and post-intubation morbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid resuscitation is a fundamental intervention in patients with hypovolemic shock resulting from trauma. Appropriate fluid resuscitation in trauma patients could reduce organ failure, until blood components are available, and hemorrhage is controlled. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the effect of hypertonic saline/dextran or hypertonic saline for fluid resuscitation on patient outcomes restricted to adults with hypovolemic shock. METHODS We conducted a search of electronic information sources, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane library and bibliographic reference lists to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating outcomes of crystalloids versus colloids in patients with hypovolemic shock. We calculated the risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD) of groups using fixed or random-effect models. RESULTS Fifteen studies including 3264 patients met our inclusion criteria. Survival to hospital discharge rate between research groups varied and amounted to 71.2% in hypertonic saline/dextran group vs. 68.4% for isotonic/normotonic fluid (normal saline) solutions (odds ratio [OR] = 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.97-1.45; I2 = 48%; p = 0.09). 28- to 30-days survival rate for hypertonic fluid solutions was 72.8% survivable, while in the case of isotonic fluid (normal saline) - 71.4% (OR = 1.13; 95% CI 0.75-1.70; I2 = 43%; p = 0.56). CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis, which included only evidence from RCTs hypertonic saline/dextran or hypertonic saline compared with isotonic fluid did not result in superior 28- to 30-day survival as well as in survival to hospital discharge. However, patients with hypotension who received resuscitation with hypertonic saline/dextran had less overall mortality as patients who received conventional fluid.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article is to summarize the results of major randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing clinical outcomes of critically ill patients treated with normal saline (NS) or balanced salt solutions (BSSs), address discordant results of these studies, and provide direction for future investigations. DATA SOURCES PubMed (2011 to January 2022) with bibliographies of retrieved articles searched for additional articles. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION RCTs comparing NS and BSSs in critically ill adult patients. DATA SYNTHESIS Recently published large RCTs comparing NS with BSSs in heterogeneous populations of intensive care unit patients did not find significant differences in mortality, despite positive findings in some end points in prior RCTs. However, there were a number of methodologic issues common to the RCTs including: varying study designs and end points, clinician discretion for the majority or all treatments other than the primary intervention fluid, heterogeneous patients with varying levels of acuity, and lack of power to investigate potential subgroup differences. In addition, there were problematic issues related to blinding and use of nonstudy fluids. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE Intravenous fluids are a mainstay of supportive care for critically ill patients. Similar to the so-called crystalloid-colloid debate, there has been a long-standing debate among critical care clinicians and researchers concerning the preferred crystalloid solution, NS versus one of the available BSSs. CONCLUSIONS Despite the recent publication of large multicenter RCTs, the preferred resuscitation fluid, NS or a BSS, for critically ill patients is still open for debate, although the available investigations do provide some direction for clinicians and for future investigations.

Abstract
A hyponatremic patient with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) gets normal saline (NS), and the plasma sodium decreases, paradoxically. To explain, desalination is often invoked: if urine is more concentrated than NS, the fluid's salts are excreted while some water is reabsorbed, exacerbating hyponatremia. But comparing concentrations can be deceiving. They should be converted to quantities because mass balance is key to unlocking the paradox. The [sodium] equation can legitimately be used to track all of the sodium, potassium, and water entering and leaving the body. Each input or output "module" can be counterbalanced by a chosen iv fluid so that the plasma sodium stays stable. This equipoise is expressed in terms of the iv fluid's infusion rate, an easy calculation called the ratio profile. Knowing the infusion rate that maintains steady state, we can prescribe the iv fluid at a faster rate in order to raise the plasma sodium. Rates less than the ratio profile may risk a paradox, which essentially is caused by an iv fluid underdosing. Selecting an iv fluid that is more concentrated than urine is not enough to prevent paradoxes; even 3% saline can be underdosed. Drinking water adds to the ratio profile and is underestimated in its ability to provoke a paradox. In conclusion, the quantitative approach demystifies the paradoxical worsening of hyponatremia in SIAD and offers a prescriptive guide to keep the paradox from happening. The ratio profile method is objective and quickly deployable on rounds, where it may change patient management for the better.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fluid therapy is one of the most important components of the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study was planned to compare plasmalyte and normal saline (NS) in patients who underwent craniotomies for TBI in terms of their effects on acid-base equilibrium, renal functions, and coagulation profile. METHODS Fifty patients of age 18-45 years of either sex, who underwent emergency craniotomy for TBI, were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups. Group P (n = 25) received isotonic balanced crystalloid (plasmalyte) and Group N (n = 25) received NS intraoperatively and postoperatively till 24 h after surgery. RESULTS The pH was lower in Group N (P < 0.05) at different time points after surgery. Similarly, more patients in Group N had pH <7.3 (P < 0.05); while the rest of the metabolic parameters were comparable in the two groups. Blood urea and serum creatinine were higher in Group N. Coagulation profile was comparable in the two groups. CONCLUSION Acid-base, electrolyte balance, and renal profile were better in patients receiving plasmalyte as compared to NS. Hence, it can be a wiser choice for fluid management in patients of TBI undergoing craniotomy.

Abstract
There is little known about the impact of maintenance fluid choice in children with critical asthma on clinical outcomes. Our primary study objectives were to determine the differences in the serum chloride and bicarbonate levels based on the receipt of 0.9% saline or a balanced solution. The secondary study objectives included differences in acute kidney injury (AKI) and intensive care unit (ICU)/hospital length of stay (LOS). In this retrospective cohort study, we included 1166 patients admitted to a quaternary children's hospital with critical asthma between 2017 and 2019. The patients were stratified based on if they received 0.9% saline or a balanced solution (Lactated Ringer's or Plasma-lyte) for maintenance therapy. The study outcomes were determined using independent sample t-tests, multivariable logistic regression, and negative binomial regression. The patients who received 0.9% saline maintenance therapy had a significantly higher increase in their serum chloride levels when compared to those who received balanced solutions (0.9% saline: +4 mMol/L, balanced: +2 mMol/L, p = 0.002). There was no difference in the decrease in the serum bicarbonate levels (0.9% saline: -0.4 mMol/L, balanced: -0.5 mMol/L, p = 0.830). After controlling for age, race, sex, and the Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD-2) score, there was no association between the type of fluid received and the development of AKI (OR 0.87, 95% CI: 0.46-1.63, p = 0.678). Additionally, there was no association between the type of fluid and hospital or ICU LOS. Thus, despite higher serum chloride levels in the patients that received 0.9% saline, the choice of fluid therapy did not have an impact on the serum bicarbonate values, the development of AKI or hospital and ICU LOS, suggesting there is little difference between 0.9% saline and balanced solutions as maintenance therapy in children with critical asthma.

Abstract
Venous access devices are used in health care. To prevent occlusions the evidence confirmed the need for routine catheter flushing before and after infusion as well as at the end of use. To date, the efficacy of heparin has not been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the locking of central venous catheters with heparin versus normal saline in adults to prevent occlusion, catheter-related infections and thrombosis in adults. A literature search using Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and Cinahl was performed to identify all meta-analyses addressing the effectiveness of heparin versus normal saline in locking central venous catheters in adults. Four reviewers independently selected publications assessed quality and extracted data. Parameter estimates regarding occlusion, catheter- related infections and thrombosis were pooled using an umbrella review. We identified 6356 references. Seven systematic reviews were included in the study. Most of the studies included in the systematic reviews were conducted in oncohaematology departments, intensive care and cardiac surgery units among patients with multiple diseases and chronicity. Most studies report a heparin concentration of 10 to 5000 IU/ml versus normal saline and other solutions. There was no evidence that heparin was more effective than normal saline in reducing complications such as occlusion, catheter-related infections and thrombosis. No statistically significant difference was found between heparin and normal saline in reducing catheter occlusion. Heparin is not superior compared to normal saline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is insufficient evidence of the effects of intermittent flushing with normal saline versus heparin to prevent occlusion or increased alteplase use in pediatric patients with central venous catheters. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new standard flushing practice in the management of central venous access devices in pediatric patients with cancer. A secondary objective was to assess the cost of heparin flushing supplies to patients and financial impact. METHODS New flushing guidelines included tunneled lines flushed with saline in the push-pause method twice daily in the inpatient setting. The outpatient setting required saline lock while receiving care and heparin lock on discharge. Alteplase usage was monitored for five months in all pediatric patients with cancer who had tunneled central lines. FINDINGS There was no statistically significant difference in alteplase usage rate pre- to postimplementation. A formal flushing guideline was recommended using saline and lower heparin concentrations for tunneled catheters.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of infusion of normal saline, 1/3-2/3, and Ringer's lactate fluids on labour outcome, pH, bilirubin, and glucose level of umbilical cord blood. In this randomised clinical trial, 450 nulliparous women with Bishop score ˂5 and indication of pregnancy termination were randomly divided into three groups to receive normal saline, 1/3-2/3, or Ringer's lactate infusion at a rate of 125 mL/h for hydration, upon starting induction of labour. Results of this study indicated that the incidence of hypoglycaemia (p = .19), hyper bilirubinemia (p = .87) and acidosis (p = .10) was similar in neonates of the three groups. Also, there were no statistically significant differences between the three groups with regard to the duration of labour; glucose, bilirubin and pH level of cord blood; and mode of delivery. It can be concluded that infusion of Ringer's lactate, normal saline or 1/3-2/3 fluid during labour is not associated with different maternal or foetal/neonatal outcomes, and none of the fluids has superiority to the others.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Several studies have been conducted on the association between type and volume of infused fluid on labour duration and neonatal outcomes. However, there has been some controversy.What do the results of this study add? This is the first study that has investigated the association between infusion of Ringer's lactate, normal saline or 1/3-2/3 fluid during labour with labour outcome and pH, bilirubin, and glucose level of the umbilical cord blood and results showed that these fluids have no effect on maternal or foetal/neonatal outcomes and also none of these fluids has superiority to the others.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Due to contradictory results of previous studies, further research with greater sample sizes and different fluids type and volumes may be needed to examine the association between infusion of fluids and neonatal and labour outcomes more precisely.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the adherence to the guidelines in patients presenting with hyponatremia defined as a sodium (Na) level ⩽120 mEq/L, treated with 3% hypertonic saline or normal saline. The comparison included 3% hypertonic saline use, safe serum sodium increases within 24 and 48 h, frequency of hyponatremia-related complications, and length of stay. Methods: This retrospective observational study enrolled 122 patients with serum sodium ⩽120 mEq/L admitted to the Internal Medicine Department, King Abdulaziz Medical City, National Guard-Health Affairs (NGHA), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January 2016 to December 2017. The patients were treated with either 3% hypertonic saline or normal saline. Results: Of the 122 patients, 105 (83.3%) received normal saline, and 17 (13.5%) received hypertonic saline. In the normal saline group, the mean serum sodium increase at 24 h was lower (6.60 ± 4.75) compared to the hypertonic saline group (9.24 ± 5.04). The length of stay was longer in the normal saline group (10.35 ± 13.90) compared to the hypertonic saline group (4.35 ± 3.39). A small proportion (8.7%) of the normal saline group had a serum sodium increase >12 mg/dL at 24 h compared to 29.4% for the hypertonic saline group, and the difference was statistically significant (p value = 0.013). Almost one-third of the sample (36%) presented with complications, the majority (77.3%, n = 34) had a serum sodium of ⩽115 mg/dL, and 22.7% (n = 10) with a serum sodium of 116–120 mg/dL (p value = 0.041). Conclusion: Despite the strong recommendation for 3% hypertonic saline use in severe hyponatremia, many practitioners still use normal saline, even in patients with serum sodium ⩽120 mEq/L. Normal saline showed some efficacy in managing hyponatremia in asymptomatic cases; however, severe cases may have a delayed correction, hyponatremia-related complications, and an extended length of stay.

Abstract
The crystalloid fluid of choice in sepsis remains debatable. We aimed to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis to compare the effect of balanced crystalloids (BC) vs. normal saline (NS) in adults with sepsis. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Sciences databases through 22 January 2022, was performed for studies that compared BC vs. NS in adults with sepsis. Our outcomes included mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI), need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), and ICU length of stay (LOS). Pooled risk ratio (RR) and mean difference (MD) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using a random-effect model. Fifteen studies involving 20,329 patients were included. Overall, BC showed a significant reduction in the overall mortality (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81-0.96), 28/30-day mortality (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.79-0.95), and AKI (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.77-0.93) but similar 90-day mortality (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.90-1.03), need for RRT (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.76-1.08), and ICU LOS (MD -0.25 days, 95% CI -3.44, 2.95), were observed between the two groups. However, subgroup analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed no statistically significant differences in overall mortality (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.82-1.02), AKI (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.47-1.06), and need for RRT (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.36-1.41). Our meta-analysis demonstrates that overall BC was associated with reduced mortality and AKI in sepsis compared to NS among patients with sepsis. However, subgroup analysis of RCTs showed no significant differences in both overall mortality and AKI between the groups. There was no significant difference in the need for RRT or ICU LOS between BC and NS. Pending further data, our study supports using BC over NS for fluid resuscitation in adults with sepsis. Further large-scale RCTs are necessary to validate our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ideal crystalloid fluid bolus therapy for fluid resuscitation in children remains unclear, but pediatric data are limited. Administration of 0.9% saline has been associated with hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. The primary objective of this systematic review was to compare the effect of balanced versus unbalanced fluid bolus therapy on the mean change in serum bicarbonate or pH within 24 hours in critically ill children. DATA SOURCES We searched MEDLINE including Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Embase, CENTRAL Trials Registry of the Cochrane Collaboration, ClinicalTrials.gov, and World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. STUDY SELECTION Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols guidelines, we retrieved all controlled trials and observational cohort studies comparing balanced and unbalanced resuscitative fluids in critically ill children. The primary outcome was the change in serum bicarbonate or blood pH. Secondary outcomes included the prevalence of hyperchloremia, acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy, and mortality. DATA EXTRACTION Study screening, inclusion, data extraction, and risk of bias assessments were performed independently by two authors. DATA SYNTHESIS Among 481 references identified, 13 met inclusion criteria. In the meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials with a population of 162 patients, we found a greater mean change in serum bicarbonate level (pooled estimate 1.60 mmol/L; 95% CI, 0.04-3.16; p = 0.04) and pH level (pooled mean difference 0.03; 95% CI, 0.00-0.06; p = 0.03) after 4-12 hours of rehydration with balanced versus unbalanced fluids. No differences were found in chloride serum level, acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy, or mortality. CONCLUSIONS Our systematic review found some evidence of improvement in blood pH and bicarbonate values in critically ill children after 4-12 hours of fluid bolus therapy with balanced fluid compared with the unbalanced fluid. However, a randomized controlled trial is needed to establish whether these findings have an impact on clinical outcomes before recommendations can be generated.

Abstract
Resuscitations in the delivery room or the nursery cause significant stress for caregivers. Diligent preparation will improve the efficacy and safety of life-saving interventions and increase staff comfort. When establishment of an airway and delivery of positive pressure ventilation and chest compressions fail to result in return of spontaneous circulation, pharmacotherapeutic interventions should be considered. Epinephrine is first-line pharmacotherapy for severe bradycardia or cardiac arrest, increasing coronary arterial pressure and blood flow during chest compressions. Despite limited data regarding dosing and efficacy, the first dose of epinephrine may be delivered through the endotracheal tube during attainment of venous access (preferably a low-lying umbilical venous catheter in the delivery room). Intravenous dosing is preferred, and any facility caring for newborns must ensure optimized logistics including readily available dosing guidance and optimal flush volumes. After provision of epinephrine, additional medications may be considered, especially for resuscitations occurring outside of the immediate perinatal period, including normal saline, glucose, adenosine, atropine, and calcium. Clinicians must understand the indications, dosing, and monitoring parameters for these medications and ensure rapid availability for resuscitation. Every second truly counts in a neonatal resuscitation, and optimal understanding and preparation will ensure delivery of pharmacotherapy to optimize both patient outcomes and staff comfort.

Abstract
Background Chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate has remained the gold standard chemical plaque control agent till date, though, being associated with several disadvantages including its tendency to stain teeth and leading to irritation of soft tissues. To overcome these inherent disadvantages, there has been a surge of studies in the recent past to evaluate the efficacy of herbal mouthrinses as against CHX. Objective The present study was planned to compare the anti-plaque efficacy of Hi-Ora mouthrinse as against 0.12% CHX in patients with chronic gingivitis. Materials and Methods The present study was designed as a case-control study including 90 patients with chronic gingivitis who were divided into 3 groups including Group A in which 0.12% CHX was prescribed, Group B in which patients were prescribed Hi-Ora and Group C in which normal saline was prescribed after oral prophylaxis while the mean Gingival Index (GI) and Plaque Index (PI) scores were recorded on the 5th postprocedural day. Results The mean GI score in CHX group was found to be 0.70 ± 0.25 as against 0.66 ± 0.16 in Hi-Ora and 1.59 ± 0.55 in normal saline groups. Similarly, the mean PI score in CHX group was found to be 0.80 ± 0.31 as against 0.77 ± 0.30 in Hi-Ora and 1.86 ± 0.61 in normal saline groups. Conclusions The results of the present study suggested Hi-Ora to be more effective than 0.12% CHX in reducing the mean GI and PI scores among all the 3 groups.

Abstract
Background The importance of optimal acid-base balance during renal transplant surgeries cannot be stressed enough. Optimal preload and electrolyte balance is important in maintaining this. There has been a debate on the choice of perioperative crystalloids in renal transplant surgeries over the past decades. Normal saline (0.9% saline) is more likely to cause hyperchloremic acidosis when compared to balanced salt solutions (BSS) with low chloride content whereas BSS may cause hyperkalemia. We aim to compare the safety and efficacy of normal saline (NS), Ringer’s lactate (RL) and Plasmalyte (PL) on acid-base balance and electrolytes during living donor kidney transplantation. Materials and methods Patients were randomized to NS group (n = 60), RL group (n = 60) and Plasmalyte group (n = 60). Arterial blood samples were collected for acid-base analysis after induction of anaesthesia (T0), prior to clamping the iliac vein (T1), 10 minutes after reperfusion of the donated kidney (T2) and at the end of surgery (T3). In addition, serum creatinine and 24-hour urine output were recorded on postoperative days one, two and seven. Results There was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) in the pH at the end of surgery between the three groups with the NS group being more acidotic (pH 7.29 ± 0.06, 95% CI 7.27-7.32), although this was not clinically relevant. This was explainable by the parallel increase in chloride in the NS group. Early postoperative graft functions in terms of serum creatinine, urine output and graft failure requiring dialysis were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion Balanced salt solutions such as Plasmalyte and Ringer’s lactate are associated with better pH and chloride levels compared to normal saline when used intraoperatively in renal transplant patients. This difference, however, does not appear to have any bearing on graft function. Plasmalyte seems to maintain a better acid-base and electrolyte balance, especially during the postreperfusion period.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze long-term outcomes following inpatient treatment of infected wounds with antimicrobial or normal saline instillation during negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Approach: This was a single-center retrospective study analyzing the course of patients receiving 0.9% normal saline or 0.1% polyhexanide plus 0.1% betaine as instillation for wounds requiring surgery. Measured outcomes included rates of dehiscence, new wounds, re-operations, amputations, and mortality over 5 years. The article adheres to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement. Results: Forty-two patients received normal saline instillation and 41 the antiseptic solution. Rates of dehiscence, wound recurrence, and re-operations in the saline and antiseptic cohorts were 6.3% and 5.6%, 9.4% and 5.6%, and 14.3% and 9.8%, respectively (p > 0.05). In patients requiring further surgery, time to wound closure averaged 104 and 130 days in the saline and antiseptic cohorts, respectively (p = 0.81). Five-year amputation and mortality rates were 14.3% and 22% (p = 0.36) and 24% and 17% (p = 0.45) in the saline and antiseptic cohorts, respectively. Innovation: To compare clinical outcomes associated with two fundamentally different instillation solutions over the full wound care episode and elucidate the potential impact of these results for future applications. Conclusion: This is the first evaluation of nonsurrogate outcomes of different instillations for NPWT in infected wounds. The results indicate that normal saline instillation outcomes are comparable to those of 0.1% polyhexanide plus 0.1% betaine. The clinical success, cost benefit, and accessibility of normal saline can expand the utilization of this therapeutic approach for larger patient populations.

Abstract
Background: Arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the unadorned form of surgical therapy which comprises of lavage of inflammatory enzymes and mediators and improve joint mobility and eliminate pain by pressure of the lavage solution in the upper compartment of TMJ. Objectives: The current study was conducted to assess and compare the effectiveness of arthrocentesis with normal saline alone and in conjunction with sodium hyaluronate (SH) injection in the treatment of internal derangement of the TMJ. Methodology: Sixty patients with internal derangement of the TMJ were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group 1 was performed with normal saline and Group 2 with normal saline followed by 1 ml of SH. The patients were followed up after 1 week to check for any postoperative complications and 1, 2, and 3 months for subsequent sessions and changes in subjective and objective variables. Results: The increase in mouth opening from preoperative to 3 months' postoperatively was 4.9 mm for Group 1 and 6.43 mm for Group 2. The change in the pain score (visual analogue scale scale) in Group 1 from the preoperative session to 3 months' follow-up was 7.23–4.1 and in Group 2 was 7.36–3.7. The difference in clicking/popping in Group 1 from preoperative session to 3 months' follow-up was 2.43–1 and in Group 2 was 2.4–0.53. Conclusion: Patients refractory to conservative treatment showed promising results with arthrocentesis with SH than arthrocentesis alone in treatment of TMJ internal derangement.

Abstract
Background Intraoperative fluid strategy may affect the graft viability in head-and-neck surgeries with free flap reconstruction (HNS-FFR). Studies to guide regarding association of intraoperative fluid with metabolic parameters during such surgeries are infrequent. Aim This study aimed to compare plasmalyte (PL) and normal saline (NS) (0.9%) in terms of acid-base balance and electrolytes in the peri-operative period along with graft viability during above-mentioned surgeries. Settings and Design Prospective, observational cohort study was conducted in patients, 18-65 years, undergoing HNS-FFR at a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods The cohort was categorized into two groups based on the intraoperative fluid used, i.e., PL (Group A) and NS (Group B) group. The primary objective was to compare arterial blood gas parameters at seven time points till the 3rd postoperative day. We studied the effect on graft viability and length of hospital stay. Statistical Analysis Used The independent t-tests, Chi-square, or Fisher's exact test were used to evaluate the categorical variables with a repeated measures analysis of variance for inter-group comparison with P < 0.05 as significant. Results Seventy-one (36 in Group A and 35 in Group B) patients were included in the study with comparable baseline characteristics. Group A had a better acid-base status, especially after the conclusion of vascular anastomosis (pH 7.37 ± 0.06 vs. 7.33 ± 0.04, P = 0.014) and in the postoperative period (pH 7.35 ± 0.07 vs. 7.31 ± 0.05, P = 0.013). No statistically significant difference was observed in outcome parameters between the groups. Conclusions PL may be preferred over NS due to better metabolic milieu during HNS-FFR surgery.

Abstract
Hypercalcemia is a common electrolyte disorder and is typically caused by parathyroid-dependent and parathyroid-independent causes. The most common parathyroid-independent causes include malignancy, granulomatous diseases, over-supplementation with calcium, and hypervitaminosis D. We present an unusual case of a woman who had Stimulan implanted after an artificial knee joint infection. When a washout was done, the patient’s serum calcium started rising, peaking at an astounding 21.2 mg/dL (normal range 8.4 – 10.2 mg/dL) with acute kidney injury. After aggressive hydration and treatment with furosemide, bisphosphonates, and calcitonin, the serum calcium dropped to 10.1 mg/dL. A full hypercalcemia workup did not reveal an alternate cause. On further investigation, it was found that Stimulan is calcium based, and the agitation of these beads during washout was hypothesized to result in the observed profound hypercalcemia.

Abstract
Background Postoperative donor site pain remains a major source of morbidity following iliac crest bone graft harvesting (ICBGH). Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of single-dose infiltration of bupivacaine on donor site pain following ICBGH. Subjects and Methods This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial of 30 adult individuals that required an ICBG as part of the treatment for mandibular reconstruction. Individuals were divided into two groups, to receive a single-dose subcutaneous infiltration of either 0.25% bupivacaine or 0.9% normal saline at the iliac crest graft incision site following ICBGH. Length of incision at the ICBGH site, dimensions of harvested graft, time taken for the iliac crest harvest surgery, total daily dose of postoperative analgesics, pain from the ICBGH site as well as gait disturbance were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results There was a progressive decrease in pain score from the 1st to the 4th postoperative day, with no significant difference between the two groups. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of dynamic median pain score at the early postoperative period as well as at the 4th and 12th week postoperative period. The analgesic consumption between the two groups also did not show any significant difference. Conclusion Local injection of single dose of 0.25% bupivacaine did not offer additional benefit in the management of postoperative iliac crest donor site pain following ICBGH.
