What is Hypersal?

Hypersal is a nebulized hypertonic saline solution used by physicians in a clinical setting to induce sputum, the mucus or phlegm that lines the lower respiratory tract, for sampling and analysis. A hypertonic solution has a salt concentration higher than the salt concentration in the body. When inhaled into the lungs as a mist (nebulized), the saline solution loosens the mucus and allows more sputum to be coughed up by the patient.

A healthcare technician will help administer Hypersal to the patient. Since saline solution might close up the airways, an inhaled dose of albuterol may be administered first to keep them open. As the saline solution is applied, any sputum coughed up will be sampled by the technician.
