Q

how do solutes exert an osmotic force

A
  • differential distribution across a membrane
  • increased permeability will decrease the osmotic force

18
Q

how do you have effective osmoles

A
  • cell impermeant to solute
  • low permeability
19
Q

what occurs in an isotonic solution

A
  • cell volume remains constant
  • no net movement of water
  • impermeable so osmotic forces
20
Q

what occurs in a hypotonic solution

A
  • movement from low effective osmolarity to high effective osmolarity
  • cell swells
21
Q

what is a hypertonic solution

A

the solution outside of the cell is more concentrated than inside the cell

22
Q

what are the main differences between the composition of the intracellular and extracellular fluids

A

-intra = higher potassium
- extra = high sodium
- similar osmolarity

23
Q

what are signs of increased extracellular volume

A
  • hypoxia
  • high BP
  • periorbital oedema
  • raised JVP
  • bi-basal crackles
  • leg oedema (pitting)
24
Q

what are signs of decreased extracellular volume

A
  • tachycardia
  • hypotension
  • dry mouth
  • reduced JVP
  • cool peripherals
  • oliguria
25
Q

what is hypertonic dehydration

A
  • lose more water then sodium
  • excessive water loss or not enough intake
26
Q

what is isotonic dehydration

A
  • lose same amount of water as sodium
  • trauma, vomiting, burns, sweating
26
Q

what is hypotonic dehydration

A
  • lose more sodium than water
  • Addison’s, diuretics
27
Q

why is dehydration more common in the elderly

A
  • decreased total body water
  • reduce urine concentration
  • reduced thirst
28
Q

how does a decreased heart volume affect MAP

A
  1. decreases venous pressure
  2. decreases venous return
  3. decrease in edv
  4. decrease cardiac output
  5. decreased MAP
29
Q

how does an increase in blood volume affect MAP

A
  1. increase venous pressure
  2. increase venous return
  3. increase EDV
  4. increase cardiac output
  5. increase MAP
30
Q

what mechanisms do the kidneys use to regulate Na

A
  1. decreased blood volume triggers baroreceptors
  2. cause the sympathetic nervous system to fire for more sodium reabsorption
  3. release renin starting RAAS
  4. retains more sodium
31
Q

stages of RAAS

A
  1. angiotensinogen
  2. renin release
  3. cleave angiotensin I
  4. angiotensin I and ACE
  5. angiotensin II into kidney
  6. release aldosterone
32
Q

what are the effects on an increase in angiotensin II

A
  • increase arteriolar vasoconstriction
  • increase thirst and Na appetite
  • increased aldosterone secretion
33
Q

how is the feeling of thirst triggered

A
  • stimulation of subfornical organ and organum vasculosum of the lamina terminals
  • modulated by GI afferents and baroreceptor inputs
34
Q

what are the stages of response to a decrease in extracellular fluid volume

A
  1. stabilise arterial blood pressure with baroreflex
  2. neuroendocrine reflexes increase plasma - vasoconstriction
  3. reduced starlings force, net reabsorption
  4. stable circulating volume, increasing reabsorption
  5. increase thirst and Na appetites
  6. increase albumin, platelets and erythrocytes
35
Q

what are the changes in starlings force in decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure

A
  • loss of gradient
  • limited net filtration out
  • albumin levels are ok
  • force exceeds that of capillary hydrostatic pressure so increase water reabsorption
36
Q

what are the short term effects of decrease blood volume

A
  • reduced arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreceptors firing
  • increased CO
  • arterial vasoconstriction + venoconstriction
37
Q

what are the long term effects of blood volume

A
  • increase thirst
  • decrease urinary loss of water and sodium
38
Q

what is the long term aim in blood volume loss

A

restore the blood volume

39
Q

what is the short term aim in blood volume loss

A

stabilise the MAP

39
Q

what are the different types of fluid for IV fluid resucitation

A
  • crystalloid
  • colloid
40
Q

what is a risk of using crystalloid IV fluid therpay

A

risk of exacerbating oedema

41
Q

what are the risks of using colloid IV therapy

A
  • risk of anaphylactic reactions
  • expand intravascular volume
  • infused can cause haemodilution impacting coagulation
