"Why are you asking this question?" occurs to me.
A little bit won't hurt because it's ingredients are consistent with our blood stream. A very lot would dilute the body's blood and cause the blood volume to be too high. That's all I'm going to say.

I have to agree, the first thought I had was why would you do that? Its not meant for use intravenously. The one for irrigation has preservatives you're not going to find in the one meant for injection.It can be contaminated easily and you can't draw it from the bottle correctly. Plain and simple if it doesn't come in a small bottle with a rubber stopper it is not meant for injection.

im just curious on why you can inject 0.9 sodium chloride and not 0.9 sodium chloride irrigation. What's the difference? It's for my own knowledge.
There is no reason to do either. They aren't meant to be injected into the bloodstream. I simply answered your question, odd as it was.
By inject I meant using as a flush for example in CT scans. So I guess you do inject into blood stream. I just simply wanted to know the difference in 0.9 sodium chloride for flushing out Iv lines (for instance after doing contrasted CT scan), and the 0.9 sodium chloride irrigation. Don't think that's too odd of a question.
I find no difference between the 2 products, except possibly the packaging being different for each purpose. Here's more information:
0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP is indicated for extracellular fluid replacement, treatment of metabolic alkalosis in the presence of fluid loss, mild sodium depletion,
use as a priming solution in hemodialysis procedures and may be used to initiate and terminate blood transfusions without hemolyzing red blood cells.
The irrigation solution is used for irrigation of many different areas of the body.
If you have questions about any of these procedures, ask me.
Not so odd after your explanation. But prior to that I had little information on why someone would ask this. Do you see what I mean?
Yes, I just wondered why you can't use the sodium chloride irrigation as a flush too? Why does it say not to inject it? Don't see what's different about the two.
I found a reason from a nurse: She says the irrigation solution is a wide mouthed bottle from which multiple draws with a syringe for irrigations can be drawn. Since there is a risk of contamination due to multiple needles going in & out and possibly touching something else that's non-sterile, it's not to be used for injections.
Thank you
