What leads to edema?
Decreased intravascular oncotic pressure
How does edema occur in pregnancy?
Plasma volume increases, plasma albumin concentration decreases, capillary oncotic pressure decreases, fluid in the interstitial space increases
Helps maintain fluid balance and protects the body from producing WBCs from lymphocytes
Lymphatic system
Number of osmoles per kg
Osmolality
Number of osmoles per liter
Osmolarity
Plasma osmolarity
280-290 mOsm/L
What regulates osmolarity?
- Hypothalamus
- Carotid baroreceptors
- kidneys
Has a higher concentration of total solutes than other side of the membrane
Hyperosmolar
Has a lower concentration of total solutes than other side of the membrane
Hypoosmolar
Means water moves toward the solution
Hypertonic
Means water moves away from the solution
Hypotonic
Osmolarity of a hypertonic IV solution
> 375 mOsm/L
What happens to a patient that receives hypertonic IV fluid?
- The cells of the body shrink
2. Blood volume increases/expands
Examples of hypertonic IV solutions
- Mannitol
- 3% NS
- D5 solutions (except D5W)
How much dextrose is in a D5 solution?
5%
50mg/mL
How much dextrose is in a D50 solution?
50%
500mg/mL
Dextrose doses for hypoglycemia
Pediatric = 0.25-0.5 g/kg Adult = 0.5-1 g/kg
How many grams of glucose are in 1 amp (50ml) D50?
25g
How many grams of glucose are in 1000mL D5W?
50g
How many grams of glucose is 500 mL D5W?
25g
Indications for hypertonic IV fluids
- 3% NS can be indicated to correct hyponatremia
- Glucose solutions to treat hypoglycemia
- Mannitol can increase renal perfusion and diuresis or decrease ICP
Complications of hypertonic IV fluids
- Brain cells can shrink and cause “central pontine myelinolysis” and death
- Osmotic diuresis, loss of electrolytes, intracellular dehydration and coma
Osmolarity of hypotonic IV solution
<250 mOsm/L
Effects of hypotonic solutions
- Cells expand
2. Blood volume decreases
Examples of hypotonic IV fluids
- D5W after glucose metabolizes
- 0.45% NS
- 2.5% dextrose in water
Indications for hypotonic IV fluids
- hypernatremia
Complications with hypotonic fliuds
- Phlebitis (administer through central line if possible)
2. Cerebral edema if large volumes are administered
Osmolarity of isotonic solution
250-375 mOsm/L
Examples of isotonic solutions
- LR
- NS 0.9%
- Normosol/Plasmalyte
- 5% albumin
Osmolarity of LR
273 mOsm/L
Contents of LR
Na+, K+, Ca+2, Cl-, lactate
Contraindications to lactated ringers
- Liver disease/liver failure (lactate is converted to bicarb by the liver)
- Neurosurgery and/or patients with increased ICP
- W/rocephin in newborns
4? Metabolic alkalosis/pyloric stenosis
5? giving blood
6? diabetes
7? renal failure
Osmolarity of 0.9% NS
308 mOsm/L
Amount of sodium in 1 L of 0.9% NS
154 mEq
