Degloving of the skin of the palms and soles typically occurs during decomposition, as well as in cases involving thermal exposure (ie, fires) and immersions (see the following example). Postmortem degloving of the hand.
The most commonly used crystalloid fluid is normal saline, a solution of sodium chloride at 0.9% concentration, which is close to the concentration in the blood (isotonic). Ringer's lactate or Ringer's acetate is another isotonic solution often used for large-volume fluid replacement.ormal saline (NS) is the commonly used term for a solution of 0.9% w/v of NaCl, about 300 mOsm /L. Less commonly, this solution is referred to as physiological saline or isotonic saline, neither of which is technically accurate.
Half Normal Saline is 0.45% saline in water, and is called Hypotonic Saline. It is dangerous to give this in an IV unless prescribed by a physician after consulting laboratory tests on the patient. This is due to its osmolality. Formal Saline, or Formalin, is 10% salt in water.
