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
hypertonic
water moves toward the solution
hypertonic IV solution definition
osmolarity of >375 mOsm/L
effects of hypertonic IV solution on the body
cells of the body shrink
blood volume increases
3 hypertonic IV solutions
mannitol
hypertonic 3% N/S
D5 Solution (except D5W)
mEq/L of 3% N/S
513 mEq/L
D5 solution
5% dextrose in bag or vial
D50 solution
50% dextrose in bag or vial
5% dextrose is what mg/mL?
50mg/mL
50% dextrose is what mg/mL
500mg/mL
pediatric dose of dextrose
0.25-0.5g/kg
adult dose of dextrose
0.5-1g/kg
3 indications for hypertonic fluids
3% N/S to correct plasma sodium conc.
glucose solution for maintenance for NPO or normalize sugar
mannitol for increase renal perfusion and neurosurgery to shrink brain cells
complications of hypertonic IV fluids
if 3% N/S given too rapidly then the brain can have central pontine myelinolysis and death
osmotic diuresis, loss of electrolytes, intracellular dehydration, coma
hypotonic IV solution definition
osmolarity of <250mOsm/L
effects of hypotonic IV fluids on the body
cells of the body will expand
blood volume decreases
3 hypotonic solutions
0.45% N/S
2.5% Dextrose in Water
D5W
is D5W really hypotonic?
starts isotonic but glucose is rapidly metabolized in the body and becomes hypotonic
indications for hypotonic IV fluids
hypernatremia
water deficit
2 complications of hypotonic fluids
cause phlebitis (go through central line) cerebral edema (contraindicated in pts with increased ICP)
isotonic solution definition
osmolarity of 250-375 mOsm/L
4 types of isotonic solution
LR
N/S .9%
normosol
5% albumin
osmolarity of LR
273 mOsm/L
slightly hypotonic
contents of LR
Na, K, Ca, Cl, lactate
what is lactate converted to by the liver?
bicarb and glucose
5 contraindications to LR
hanging with blood? liver disease/failure brain surgery diabetes? renal failure?
why not hang LR with blood
calcium could chelate the citrate anticoagulant preservative and form clots
why not hang LR in liver failure
lactate builds up and cant be converted thus causing lactic acidosis (elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis)
