Nasal polyps are small, curable growths that grow up from nose or sinus tissues and can generate the sinus cavities to become blocked, interrupting mucus from filtering and leading to sinus infection. They can reduce airway passages which can in turn trigger headaches.
Hypotonic solution: A solution that contains fewer dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood. Hypotonic solutions are commonly used to give fluids intravenously to hospitalized patients in order to treat or avoid dehydration.ypotonic solution: A solution that contains fewer dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood.

3% Saline (a hypertonic solution) A patient with cerebral edema would be ordered a HYPERTONIC solution to decrease brain swelling. The solution would remove water from the brain cells back into the vascular to be excreted. 3% Saline is the only hypertonic option. _______ solutions cause cell dehydration and help increase fluid in the extracellular space. D5W solutions are sometimes considered a hypotonic solution as well as an isotonic solution because after the body metabolizes the dextrose the solution acts as a hypotonic solution.
