Q

Risk of using PNSS

A

Risk of hyperchloremic acidosis, due to high Cl content. High Cl content in the kidneys cannot be rapidly excreted. Dilutional acidosis may develop by reducing base bicarb relative to carbonic acid.

Q

How is 3% NaCl acts as a plasma expander

A

Hypertonic saline increases plasma osmolality and thereby acts as a plasma expander, increasing circulatory volume via movement of intracellular and interstitial water into the intravascular space. (Do not give to CHF patients!)

Q

Usual indications for IV fluid administration

A
  1. Defend normal BP
  2. Return the ICF volume to normal
  3. Replacing ongoing renal losses
  4. Maintenance fluids to match insensible losses

A

1026 mOsm/L, 513 mEq/L Na

43
Q

Type of IV fluid:

Fresh frozen plasma/FFP

A

44
Q

True or False: Is dopamine dose-dependent?

A

True

45
Q

A synthetic sympathomimetic amine with positive inotropic action with effects due to selective stimulation of beta-1 adrenergic receptors

A

Dobutamine

46
Q

Dobutamine preparation

A

1 amp contains 250 mg dobutamine

49
Q

True or False: is dobutamine dose-dependent?

A

True

50
Q

Sample dopamine order

A

Dopamine drip: 250 mg Dobutamine (1 amp) + 250 cc D5W to run for ___ cc/hr

51
Q

The only solution that may be administered with blood products

A

Normal saline, PNSS

54
Q

Most closely resembles the electrolyte composition of normal blood serum

A

LR. Lactated Ringer’s solution

55
Q

Type of IV fluid:

Cryoprecipitates, platelets

A

Blood products, colloid

56
Q

Type of IV fluid:

D10W

A

Free water solution

Q

Type of IV fluid:

Hypertonic solution
3, 5, 7.5%

A
