2 - Fluid Disorders Flashcards
TBW
Total Body Weight
for Male & Female
**Male = 60% Female = 50%**
% of body weight
TBW
Total Body Weight
for
Pediatrics
Pediatrics = 60-70%
TBW
Total Body Weight
for
Elderly Male & Female
Elderly Male = 50%
Elderly FEMALE = 45%
TBW
Total Body Weight
for
OBESE
Decrease by 5%
if >130% over the IBW (ideal body weight)
- *Split of Total Body Water**
- *ECF / ICF / ISF / IVF**
2/3 ICF (intracellular Fluid)
1/3 ECF (Extracellular Fluid)
broken down to:
3/4 ISF (Interstitial Fluid)
&
1/4 IVF (Intravascular fluid)
Body Fluid Composition
TBW = ICF + ECF (ISF + IVF)
for a Male, 60% of weight is TBW
Tonicity
Fluid Tension between ECF & ICF
Extracellular Fluid - Intracellular Fluid (2/3 of TBW)
Weight of particles in a compartment that can Attract fluid
depend on relative solute permeability
OsmaLALity
Definition and Range
Total Solute concentration
given a weight of water in a given compartment
- *Collected or Measured** Plasma OsmoLALity:
- *280-295** mOsm/kg h2o
OsMOLARity
Osmolarity (mOsm/L H2O) =
2x[Na+] + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
- *CALCULATED**
- compared to OsmoLALity, which is collected/measured*
Qualitative measure of TBW
↓ pOsm implies EXCESS water
↑ pOsm implies LACK of water
Regulation of Water Metabolism
Water Intake
THIRST is the mechanism to increase water intake
↑pOsm (lack of water)
↓ECF or BP
WATER EXCRETION
AVP = Arginine Vasopressin
major determinant of water loss
Water Balance
Water Gain
Sensible = Drinking Fluids / Eating Solids
Insensible = 250mL
From Metabolism / not measurable, but need to be taken account for
Water LOSS
Sensible = Urine / Intestinal / Sweat
Insensible = 600
from lungs / skin
AVP
Arginine Vasopressin
an ADH hormone synthesized in the Hypothalmus
stored in the posterior pituitary
Major Determinant of WATER LOSS
Water Excretion
Vasopressin Receptors
AVP
V2: Renal COLLECTING DUCT
<–Resorption of water via aquaporin-2 channel
decreases water excretion
V1A: Vascular Smooth Muscle
vasoconstriction / cardiac hypertrophy
V1B: Stress Reactive
release ACTH & Endorphin
What stimulates the RELEASE of AVP?
↑pOsm or ↓BP
NAUSEA**
Pain / Anxiety
- *Medications**:
- *Nicotine** / carbamezapine / TCA’s
- *SSRI’s** / opiates / haloperidol
Labs / Vitals / Symptoms
for HypoVolemia
- *Vitals**
- *↑HR** , orthostatics , ↓BP (severe), ↓Urine output
Labs
conc. urine , ↑BUN,
↑SCr // ↑Na+ (severe)
- *Symptoms**
- *weakness / syncope** / confusion / THIRST
- *↓ skin turgor / dry mouth**
Causes of dehydration which can lead to hypoVolemia
Increasing Age / Medications
INSENSIBLE Losses
Sweat / burn / HYPERVentilation
GI Losses
Vomiting / Diarrhea / biliary
- *Diabetes Insipidus** = AVP issues
- *Central** (neurogenic) - ↓ AVP secretion
- *Nephrogenic** = RESISTANCE to AVP effect
What type of VOLUME THERAPY?
Goal is to maintain ORGAN PERFUSION
by treating the intravascular hypovolemia
RESUSCITATION
