Q

What clinical and lab values can be used to assess volume depletion in adults?

A
  • BP
  • JVP
  • Urine [Na]
  • Urine output
29
Q

Most pts are treated with what type of saline?

Exceptions?

A

isotonic or half isotonic

Exceptions:

  • hypernatremia –> hypotonic
  • hyponatremia –> hyper or isontonic
  • blood loss –> isotonic or blood
  • hypokalemia or metabolic acidosis –> maybe add K or bicarb
30
Q

What is a concern with isotonic saline? D5W? Lactated ringer’s?

A
  1. metabolic acidosis with aggressive resuscitation
  2. electrolyte shifts due to hypotonicity after inital response phase
  3. increase embolic formation in midst of PRBC transfusion
