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.
But in medicine, rather than chemistry, normal saline is a mixture of about 10% salt in water. It is called normal because it is the approximation of the the body's normal intracelllular fluid. Half normal would be half as much salt, or about 4.9%.
