proportioned to give a filled pot the correct salinity in the finished solution. I own two of them, and they are far easier to use than the current article's description makes the use of this method sound like. You tilt your head to the right and down, pour the saline solution into your left nostril, breathe through your mouth, and let the water run through and out the other nostril. Refill the pot, and repeat with the other side. Doesn't sound scientific, but would make it sound a wee tad easier to use than the current article.
547:"280–300 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOSm/kg) of water". By calculation, a 0.9% by weight solution has 9 g NaCl per 1000 grams of solution = 9.08 g NaCl per 1000 g of water = 0.155 moles of NaCl per kg of water. Assuming NaCl is fully disassociated in water, this results in 0.310 osmoles/kg of water. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 60th Edition (1979), CRC Press, page D-261 gives the osmolality of a 0.9% NaCl solution as 0.287 osmoles/kg. 1416:. Recorded cases have occured in the United States since at least 1937. See the wikipedia article (cited above) to verify references. I think the warning can be retained in the article for those who wish reduce the rare chance of infection, but it hardly needs to be put at the top of the article. With that sort of reasoning, such a warning should be the first entry in any article on hot springs, ponds, fresh water swimming, etc. 1262:. More over, the water flow pulsates at frequencies similar to that of the natural mucociliary movement, it can more effectively remove thick mucus and pus bacterial toxins. During use, your head should bend down, which from the anatomical point of view, it is easy for the water to flow into the nasal cavity from one side, around the nasopharynx and exit from the other side. It also suggests a much lower chance to flow into 71: 53: 238: 139: 256: 160: 125: 146: 22: 170: 303: 282: 1404:(PAM) occured through the use of tap water in the State of Louisiana USA and Pakistan. Tap water in Pakistan is not suitable for drinking and thus certainly not for nasal irrigation. Tap water in Louisiana and elsewhere in the USA is normally potable, but in certain locations it has occasional impurities that on rare occasions cause disease. Infection with the 313: 563: 397: 1505:, and since ordinary tap water in every reasonably modern nation is normally treated sufficiently to kill that parasite, it seems unreasonably alarmist to claim that tap water is ordinarily "not safe". Knowledge may as well maintain a list of people who have died from rare intestinal infections from drinking ordinary tap water. 888:, and in the following edit I also removed an unsourced paragraph that speculated on an "adverse affect" (sic) of flushing while infected. I stand by my opinion that a single conference abstract is not enough to warrant an entire paragraph on adverse effects, let alone a section. (Just imagine what our articles on 808:
Brown and Graham cite the following paper: Olson DE, Rasgon BM, Hilsinger RL Jr: Radiographic comparison of three methods for nasal saline irrigation. Laryngoscope 2002, 112:1394–1398. They say that the solution reaches ethmoidal and maxillary sinuses, but only a limited amount reaches the other two.

Somewhat humorously, the article says clinical guidelines indicate saline nasal irrigation for acute and chronic sinusitis, but then turns around and cites a study that says there is weak evidence for that indication. As an aside, the results/conclusions section of that study is worded in a way that

Note that some techniques involve irrigating and flooding the whole sinus cavity. The mucus is usually discharged away, and fluid also reaches into those cavities. The patient, laying on a bed with their head tilted backwards over the edge, or crouched on three points (left foot, right food and

The second sentence says, "The practice is reported to be beneficial with only minor side effects." Is reported by whom? Is it prescribed by doctors? Have scientific studies shown it to be effective and safe? The whole business sounds suspicious, especially in light of the recent fatality.
1945:"CPAP usage Nasal congestion and nasal stuffiness are common reasons for CPAP failure, especially during the first several weeks of the initiation of treatment. A sinus rinse and nasal irrigation with a saline solution may be beneficial in improving outcomes as it relates to CPAP compliance." 866:
I don't know who removed the section, but the information is still included in the article. Let's keep an eye open for studies. I think that, in the interest of safety, we can list the adverse effects from any primary sources, lacking a secondary source. Does anyone feel like a new section for

Someone added a "dubious" tag (May 2013) to a comment under Method that irrigating with excessive pressure can damage or infect the ear canal. This isn't rocket science. Blowing one's nose in such a way that exerts too much pressure can do the same thing. I have removed the "dubious" tag.

I agree with the proposal by Enric Naval. It's not clear to me that pulsatile irrigation is independently notable, and from an organisational point of view it's better if it's covered by this article, anyway. (This decision could of course be revisited if and when the material on pulsatile

accurate, it may be useful to #1 confirm as 130.225.2.143 stated above that the addition of baking soda does not require a reduction in salt to remain isotonic, and #2 to offer a range of typical solution strengths so that people can start on the weak end and adjust upward as needed.

This is dubious. Other sources online suggest that the proper amount of salt in an isotonic saline solution is 0.9%, not 0.9 grams per litre which is equal to 0.09%. It is also given as if it is quoted from somewhere but no source is provided.

B.D.Mills is correct. To be precise, a 0.9% by weight solution of NaCl in water is isotonic (has the same osmotic pressure of water)as human blood plasma and the contents of red blood cells. See Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia,

The current instructions for an isotonic solution say that 1 tsp salt per pint is isotonic and 1 tsp salt plus 1 tsp baking soda per pint is also isotonic. Can this be right? Is the molarity of baking soda so much less?

In the first section tap water is recommended. Unboiled tap water is reportedly what caused the deaths. If people only read the first section and do what it says they could get infected. Consider moving the warning up.
