what kind of water must be used in medical preparations and why?
105268
Hi there,\n\nWe have to use 'distilled' water for medical preparations.\n\nHere's why-\nNormal water contains salts like sodium chloride, calcium and magnesium salts and when we use the same kind of water in medical preparations, the chemicals in the medicines are likely to react with the salts in water. Also, if there are any physical impurities in ordinary water, it is not safe for medical preparations.\n\nHope this solved your query. If not, please let me kno and I'll be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Yes it is safe to drink.  It is nasty tasting but not bad for you.  It has just been cleaned of all minerals and spirits that are in normal tap water.  Hospitals use it in humidifiers and respiratory machines.  So if it was bad the hospital wouldnt use the stuff.

Water is required for the following for the body:1.for tissues, and for the blood, 2.for producing digestive enzymes, and lubricating fluids 3. for excreting the waste proucts from the body through, urine, motion, sweat etc.4. To make the body cool by evaporation by sweating  In additon to the water in the food we take about 1.5 to 2 litres is nececessary  for normal  adult.( In our body the water is 2/3 of our body weight)

i doubt that it can be good 4 the skin it actually dries it out\ncause osmosis causes a lower concentration 2 move into a higher concentration so the blood fuid will move into the sugar solution and the cells will dry out\nits lik a hypertonic solution

it is still an excellent idea to wash with soap and water, and then use your sanitizer.  \n\nif you work with food, this usually isn't even an option. \n\nif it's for yourself, or a baby or something, and you're not about to handle anything that will come into contact with anything beyond skin, just sanitizer alone is alright.

Medical oxygen probably has to be USP (United States Pharmacoepia) grade, which means there's a long list of things it can't contain.  It might also have to be dry, but I'm not sure on that one.

Our advice should be that to use wired bug protection on windows  and doors,getting rid of any water pools ,don't use chemical,but dam it with soil keep water closed or protected in large reservoirs for public and clean containers in houses,don't pee in water streams and pools getting rig of gray water don't let it for the next day ,apply hygiene basics for private and public,and eat fresh and healthy food.check  your health and blood test currently in medical center.

Dependent upon the wound, it's either sterilized water/saline mix or Bettadine.\n\nSoap doesn't usually kill germs but it helps slough them off along with dead skin cells.

The difference in solubility of the components allows for separation.  I don't remember the specifics, but that is the reason.  Water will not have a big enough difference.

Well, I would say not more than 10 minutes, or you may go into shock from the cold water.  As a nurses aid we only let patients have an ice pack on for 10 - 15 min.  ice can burn your skin.  I am South African and we have a saying for Rugby. "Donate Blood! Play Rugby"  Good luck.

Rose Water - How to Make Your Own More Body Care Solutions  \n \nRose water is used in cosmetics for its lovely scent, but also because it has light astringent properties. As the gentlest of all astringents, rose water is often used as toner for fair and dry skin. \n\nSimple Solution:\n  \nYou must be careful when purchasing rose water to buy only the 100 percent pure form. Often what is available in pharmacies and even some natural food stores is synthetic rose oil and water with preservatives added. Pure rose water is the distilled water of roses. It is usually made by stream distillation, and it smells heavenly and tastes delicious. \n\nAvailability: Besides health food stores and herb stores, you can often find rose water in delicatessens; it is used as a flavoring in fancy Greek pastries, puddings, and cakes. \n\nRose Water, Method #1 \n\nThis recipe is the more traditional way to prepare rose water. Though it's a little more involved, its fun to do and the results are outstanding. You can make a quart of excellent-quality rose water in about 40 minutes. However, if you simmer the water too long, you will continue to produce distilled water but the rose essence will become diluted. Your rose water will smell more like plain distilled water, rather than the heavenly scent of roses.\n\nBe sure you have a brick and heat-safe stainless steel or glass quart bowl ready before you begin.\n\nIngredients \n2-3 quarts fresh roses or rose petals\nwater\nice cubes or crushed ice\n\n1. In the center of a large pot (the speckled blue canning pots are ideal) with an inverted lid (a rounded lid), place a fireplace brick. On top of the brick place the bowl. Put the roses in the pot; add enough flowers to reach the top of the brick. Pour in just enough water to cover the roses. The water should be just above the top of the brick.\n\n2. Place the lid upside down on the pot. Turn on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil, then lower heat to a slow steady simmer. As soon as the water begins to boil, toss two or three trays of ice cubes (or a bag of ice) on top of the lid.\n\n3. You've now created a home still! As the water boils the steam rises, hits the top of the cold lid, and condenses. As it condenses it flows to the center of the lid and drops into the bowl. Every twenty minutes, quickly lift the lid and take out a tablespoon or two of the rose water. It's time to stop when you have between a pint and a quart of water that smells and tastes strongly like roses.

Understand the lever system of the beds.\nUnderstand water flow for suspension of IV injection bags.\n\nFrankly, physics is not that important in medicine.

1) Generally soap and water is enough to dissolve blood and wash it away. If you have blood on you, you will also want a disinfectant, such as bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or the alcohol found in water-free hand rinse.\n2. The x-ray machines in airports are much more powerful. X-rays are inherently harmful to humans, so the dosage used in hospitals are much lower than those used in airports.\n3. Probably none. Likely, neither would anyone's bed sheets. Remember that what is found is often a residue, a protein, after washing the sheets in bleach.

The best thing would be a bit of bleach.  Do the math - you should shoot for about 2 to 4 parts per million hypochlorite (since commercial preparations are usually 5% - which is 50,000 parts per million - YOU NEED TO DILUTE IT 25,000 FOLD BEFORE YOU DRINK IT - SEE MY NOTE AT THE BOTTOM).  You should also try to store the water in the dark, in an opaque container, or at least in a brown or green glas container since algae growth is photosynthetically driven (i.e. needs light)\n\nBE CAREFUL HANDLING BLEACH - AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IT IS TOXIC AND CORROSIVE.
