Advanced Fluid Management Flashcards
hydrostatic pressure
pressure exerted against the capillary walls
intravascular hydrostatic pressure drives blood what way
out of blood vessel
interstitial hydrostatic pressure drives blood what way
into blood vessels
oncotic pressure
form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins
pulls fluid towards itself
intravascular oncotic pressure drives fluid what way
into blood vessels
interstitial oncotic pressure drives fluid what way
out of blood vessels
decreased intravascular oncotic pressure can lead to what
edema
why is there edema in pregnancy
plasma volume increases
albumin conc decreases
intravascular oncotic pressure decreases
why is there edema in liver failure
plasma albumin conc decreases bc of decreased albumin synthesis
decreased intravascular oncotic pressure
capillary arterial end net filt pressure and direction
net filtration pressure of 13 OUT of blood vessels
venous end net filt pressure and direction
net filtration pressure 7
INTO blood vessels
What happens to the 6 left in the interstitial fluid?
taken by lymphatic system back to lymph nodes
drain into subclavian vein
lymphatic system function
maintain fluid balance
protect body from infection
moles
refer to compounds
NaCl
osmoles
refer to ions
Na+ Cl-
osmolality
number osmoles/kg solvent
osmolarity
number osmoles/L
plasma osmolarity
280-290 mOsm/L
what 3 things regulate osmolarity
hypothalamus
carotid baroreceptors
kidneys
what does the hypothalamus do to regulate osmolarity
osmolarity high=
tells posterior pituitary to:
secrete ADH
sense of thirst
what do the carotid and baroreceptor and kidneys do to regulate osmolarity
sense a decrease in blood volume
send message to brain to secrete ADH
molarity
how concentrated one solution is compared to another
hyperosmolar
higher conc of total solutes than other side of membrane
tonicity
which direction water moves
