Saline bathwater solution:
0.91% NaCl
D5 (5% dextrose)
Contains 77 mEq/L of Na and Cl
5 g/L glucose
Maybe a small amount of antibacterial concentration.
This is basically saline solution with less glucose because its used for a topical application. The idea is to fill a bath with the stuff while it is slightly under body temperature and sleep in it all night. This concentration is necessary to form a microscopic environmental equilibrium, otherwise the water would just diffuse into individual cells and swell up the skin tissue. Bactria would have a more difficult time dividing in saltwater opposed to non saltwater.
The reason for doing so is to:
1. Evenly distribute stable heat throughout the body which allows for faster healing of tissues (from cuts, burns, bruising, and so on). heat = vessel dilation = more blood circulation
2. Emulate a closer to optimal chemical environment for superficial cell hydration and reproduction speeding up cell division.
3. The patient would be suspended in water to allow their entire body to be free of any pressure from their resting surface also allowing connective tissues to heal because of less strain.
4. Sleep deeper for longer because of the heat and suspension.
The tub/container would be designed to prevent drowning by keeping the patients head above the water. Urine and feces would be a non issue because of a watertight helmet like cover over the holes. No worry about sleeping in your own filth.
This type of therapy would of course be for customized for burn victims and other people that have been injured. This is of course compared to sleeping in a regular bed. It may be worth it if it is something like 20% faster tissue healing.
On a side note, after the temper-pedic type mattresses, what would be the new resting medium? It would have to be some sort of liquid suspension seeing as how we are made of water.
It would be possible to stay in their for something like a week depending on the patents condition. Nutrition would be given through an iv drip.
Adding computers to monator the patient and status of the water is obvious.
Cliffs: Sleep in a bath to heal faster, maybe even for days depending on condition.
