The dangers of hanging salt water

Hanging saline solution is a relatively common treatment method. The main purpose of hanging saline solution is to replenish the body's electrolytes and avoid electrolyte imbalance. Of course, if the saline solution is not used properly, it will also cause certain harm to health. For example, it may cause electrolyte disorders, cause thrombosis of small blood vessels, etc., and even cause insufficient blood supply. Therefore, when hanging saline solution, you should also pay attention to this issue.

The dangers of hanging salt water

Internationally, it usually takes 7 to 8 years to produce a new antibiotic, while bacteria can develop drug resistance in 2 to 3 years. In other words, the research and development of new products will never keep up with the reproduction and mutation of bacteria. China is a country that abuses antibiotics. Due to the widespread development of drug resistance among patients, there is a saying that the Chinese have used up all the antibiotics for future generations. What a terrible phenomenon this is.

It has also been found in clinical practice that too many intravenous drips will not only cause a disorder in the body's water and electrolyte balance, but will also increase the proportion of microparticles accordingly. According to research: there are 542 particles with a particle size of 2 to 16 microns in 1 ml of penicillin plus 5% glucose solution, and 500 ml of the solution will contain more than 200,000 harmful particles. It is conceivable that if the intravenous drip is used indiscriminately, a large number of harmful particles in the rehydration fluid will enter the human body. Since the diameter of the smallest capillaries in the human body is only 4-7 microns, if you receive intravenous drips frequently, particles larger than 4 microns in the medicine will accumulate in the capillaries of the heart, liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, muscles, skin, etc. If things go on like this for a long time, it will cause small blood vessel thrombosis, infarction, hemorrhage, pulmonary granuloma, increased venous pressure, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis and even cancer. The accumulation of particles causes embolism of small blood vessels and can also lead to local blood supply deficiency, tissue ischemia, hypoxia, edema and inflammation. A scholar examined the body of a person who had received a 40-liter IV drip throughout his life and found more than 5,000 granulomas and a large number of microvascular embolism foci in the lungs alone.

Therefore, the general view in the medical community is that the harm caused by indiscriminate use of IV drips is potential and long-term, and will sow the seeds of disaster. Patients with minor illnesses should receive the right medicine according to their condition and should never easily join the "IV drip tribe."

What are the benefits of hanging salt water

To be precise, normal saline is a 0.9% sodium chloride aqueous solution. Because its osmotic pressure value is roughly the same as that of normal human plasma and tissue fluid, it can be used for fluid replacement (without reducing or increasing the sodium ion concentration in the normal human body) and other medical purposes. It is also often used for in vitro culture of living tissues and cells. It can prevent cell rupture, and its osmotic pressure is the same as that outside the cells, so it will not cause the cells to dehydrate or absorb excessive water. Therefore, it is used in many medical operations where liquids are needed. Sodium chloride: commonly known as salt, table salt.
