The use of distilled water in the achievement of local hemostasis during surgery

Abstract: Distilled water is used worldwide to check on hemostasis at the end of pelvic oncological operations. Nevertheless, reports about this method are lacking. The aim of this study was to explain the method and to discuss possible side effects. After the addition of distilled water to the surgically exposed pelvis, rapid lysis of erythrocytes results in a transparent fluid in which a small source of bleeding is easily recognizable. A possible side effect of the lavage might be contribution to the formation of peri… Show more

“…Matrigel TM drops without organoids were infected with bacteria and treated with gentamicin as described above. Next, Matrigel TM drops containing or not organoids were washed with DMEM/12 at 37 °C and then lyzed in cold distilled H 2 O for 30 min on ice by osmotic shock [ 19 , 20 ]. Finally, the number of internalized and surviving bacteria at 4 h 30 pi was determined by plating appropriate dilution on Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA, BD Difco TM , Le Pont de Claix, France) and counted after overnight growth at 37 °C.…”

“…The common reaction of OL with both NaOH and NaCl is shown in Figure e. It is worth mentioning that NaCl solution is isotonic with human blood at 154 mM concentration, which is very less to bring out any effect upon sensing, and the pH range for blood is typically between 7.35 and 7.45, with 7.40 being the average value, and no substantial decrease in fluorescence intensity is noticed in this range, confirming the suitability of the proposed Ch-OL/CQD nanocomposite sensing system for glucose sensing in real human blood samples.…”

“…Distilled water or deionized water is commonly used for lavage to check homeostasis at the end of various operations [26]. The efficacy of pleural lavage with distilled water during surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was proposed from the cytocidal effects of hypotonic shock on tumor cells [27].…”
