Q

In which fluid compartment is the majority of water in the body and what is its primary composition?

A
  • Intracellular
  • majority of our total body water is locked within our cells in the intracellular compartment.
  • Composed of high potassium and low sodium. The gradient is maintained by Na-K ATPase.

Q

Which is the second largest fluid compartment in the body and what is its primary composition?

A
  • Interstitial
  • bathes the cells and occupies spaces such as pleural cavity and joint spaces. It absorbs and loses fluid to intracellular and intravascular compartments.
  • Composed of high sodium (135 – 145 mmol/L and low potassium (3.5 – 5 mmol/L) identical to blood, but with a lower protein content.

Q

What is a crystaloid?

A

Crystalloid solutions contain low molecular weight salts or sugars which dissolve completely in water and pass freely between the intravascular and interstitial compartments.

Q

what is a colloid?

A
  • Colloids contain larger molecular weight substances that do not dissolve completely and depending on their molecular size, structure and capillary permeability of he patient, remain for a longer period in the intravascular compartment than crystalloid solutions.
  • You may need 2 – 3 times the volume of crystalloid to colloid to achieve the same vascular filling. they act as “a plasma expander in place of blood”.
  • Albumin
  • Hetastarch
  • Dextran
