Most common cause of volume deficit in surgical patients:
loss of GI fluids
This cytokine induces muscle breakdown and cachexia
TNF - Alpha
This cytokine induces fever
IL - 1
This cytokine promotes lymphocyte proliferation, immunoglobulin production
IL - 2
This cytokine prolongs activated neutrophil survival and is a mediator of acute phase response
IL - 6
This cytokine is a chemoattractant
IL - 8
This cytokine activates macrophage via TH1 cells
IFN - y
This function as intracellular chaperones for ligands such as bacterial DNA and endotoxin and alert the immune system of the tissue damage
HSP
It is associated with eosinophil and mast cell release
Histamine
wound healing is impaired by cholesterol through reduction of
TGF - B IGF
This promotes protein synthesis and insulin resistance and enhance mobilization of fat stores
GH IGF - 1

This is used as maintenance fluid therapy in postoperative period
D5 0.45% NaCl -for patients unable to tolerate enteral nutrition and started 24 to 48 hours post operative
This is used in patietns with closed head injuries
D5 7% NaCl
Ways of preventing refeeding syndrome
- underlying electrolyte or volume deficit should be corrected 2. thiamine should be administered before feeding 3. caloric repletion at 20/kcal/kg/day
consequence of rapid correction of hypernatremia
cerebral edema and herniation
consequence of rapid correction of hyponatremia
central pontine myelinosis
Drugs that are aldosterone antagonist

Drugs that are Na channel blockers
- amiloride 2. triamterene
ECG changes in hyperkalemia
- Peak T waves 2. prolong PR interval 3. flattened p waave 4. widened QRS complex 5. sine wave formation 6. ventricular fibrillation
