    A new method allows rapid preparation of normal saline slush using sterile slush mugs. This technique enables intraoperative slush availability within 10 minutes, enhancing surgical procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Sterilization

    Background:

    • Intraoperative use of normal saline slush is common for cooling during surgical procedures.
    • Current methods for preparing saline slush can be time-consuming and may pose contamination risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple, rapid, and sterile method for preparing normal saline slush.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of using commercially available slush mugs for this purpose.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized commercially available slush mugs that undergo routine gas sterilization.
    • Stored sterilized slush mugs in a freezer prior to use.
    • Prepared normal saline slush intraoperatively.

    Main Results:
