Types of Gas Used in Medical Gas Systems in Hospitals. 1  Medical gas systems in hospitals are, in a word, lifesaving. These assemblies supply piped oxygen, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and medical air to hospital areas such as patient rooms, recovery areas, operating rooms, and more.
(ËseÉª lin, -laÉªn) adj. 1. of, containing, or tasting of common salt; salty: saline soil; a saline solution. 2. of or pertaining to a chemical salt, esp. of sodium, potassium, or magnesium, used as a cathartic.
In case of a saline solution (seawater included), it means that an Isotonic solution is 9â° (that's NOT 9% - that's PARTS PER THOUSAND) salt and 991â° purified water. In a roundabout way, one might say that Isotonic seawater has only 1/3 the salt content of regular ocean water (not the Dead Sea!).
