Here’s a closer look at the source of the “salty” fluid.
It’s “normal saline” a.k.a. 0.9% Sodium Chloride.
0.9% NaCl has an osmolarity of 300mmol/L which is the same osmolarity of human body fluids. That’s why it’s called “normal saline”.
Here’s another commonly used fluid that is iso-osmolar (the same osmolarity as body fluids):
Recognize the components?

It’s Hartmann’s solutions. The contents are shown in the label.
These are life-saving salty stuff.
Who would have guessed?
Great salty pictures. Mines up too. Happy weekend.
There’s a good idea!!

Very interesting idea for the theme. I like it.

when you said ’salty’ i taught it was a ‘cock pump’ hahahaaa..
sorry for coming here and ‘dirtyfying’ your blog!
aiseyman…for those non medical peeple…they wouldn’t have guessed no?…have u tried tasting any of that?..i have not..mebbe i shud..*pops open a bottle of NS n yamseng….
I tot u will post up pictures of 3% hypertonic saline instead
kekekkee. That one more “salty”
why just not take a picture of salt on a plate or a picture of the ocean - sea is salty too. Good idea?
Wooah…the pic looks kinda suggestive.
Don’t you love how salt saves lives?
haha u have some interesting readers with interesting comments! Haha. It’s funny to read. Anyway yah, if not a medical personnel might not have guessed it. But i see that daily too, so kinda guessed it
Mine’s posted this week…OLD SALTS
I tried to guess, but I cheated and looked. This was a hard theme this week, you came up with a good one!
Well, I never would’ve guessed, but thought, “Duh! I should have” when I saw the answer. Great pics for today!
Aren’t you clever! Great pictures.
That’s cool: just be zooming up to a subject, our perception is distorted and we can’t figure it out. Great entry.
that’s so cool! thanks for all the info!!!
Bernard, I guessed right. Got prize ah?
This is the same solution to wash contact lenses?
OK, what prize for me?
Haha…I got it right at a second thoughts…1st thought it was for pumping poo…hehe…=P
Saw the drop and figured it was an IV of either normal saline, ringers lactate or something like that.
Capt Picard, you’re lucky not to have received it before
Hi Incog, hi Nito, your’s is GROSS. Ewwww…
Larry, sorry to hear that.
Ah Pek, so “ham ham sap sap” one….
… for those who don’t know Cantonese, “ham sap” literally means “salty and wet”…. a.k.a. “horny”.
eve, how is it? Good or not?
… here, give you sodium picophosphate…
Chen, hahahaha… for that i’d have to order from the pharmacy downstairs.
… hmmm… i wonder whether it’ll actually taste more salty than normal saline on our human tastebuds.
George, you join the photo huntes and do that lah!
… actually, Mama Duck did post a kid at the ocean-side.
Diana, suggestive of ……. ? I’d love to know what’s on your mind.
Kat, well.. learn something new everyday.
Anni, those OLD SALTS look adorable.. I know they weren’t supposed to.. but they do.. love them.
Judy, clever girl! Here’s your prize *muaksss*
… yes, they’re the same. But the product for IV administration needs stricter control. They’re both manufactured via reverse osmosis filtration. Multiple times.
Chelsea, i’m not about poo ALL the time.
srps, hahaha.. right on! “Hartmann’s” is also called “Ringer’s-Lactate”.
Ah ha! The drip! I knew it. (Is it?) LOL!
jonzz, yes it is!
aiks, I vely pai seh to mention it. *blushes and hides*
Now I am all interested to know what is on Diana’s mind ^-^
cool pix … I have no idea what it is, though.
Mine’s up too
Diana, nvm.. you tell me in private la. Hahaha.
Yenjai, dun bully her la.
Teena, it’s a drip chamber for administering intravenous saline. There’s a drop of saline dripping down to the drip line.
i have never tasted the 3% saline but the 0.9% NS tasted horrible
hahhaa
Chen, horrible indeed. Bowel prep also tastes like that.
never used that before, hope i don’t have to. but i did pop one into the microwave for a while and used it as a heat pack while i was pregnant
