116
Hypotonic Fluids
- HAve effective osmolality lower than that of the patient
- Resul in redistribution of fluid into the INTRACELLULAR compartment
- Indications: maintenance fluid requirements, treatment of solute free water deficits and drug administration
**NEVER BOLUS: may result in cerebral edema and death (Na causes water shifts from ECF to ICF compartments)
Maintenance type crystalloids
[Na+] of 40-77 mEq/L
Replace sensible and insensible losses
- D5W - Become hypotonic as the Dextrose is metabolized leaving solute free water→ cannot give free water directly as will cause hemolysis and endothelial damage
- AKI: some argument that should be giving hypotonic fluids during stabilization phase as high Na content of isotonic fluids may be more likely to cause fluid creep→ fluid retention
117
Isotonic Fluids
- Havew effective osmolality like the patient (270-310 mOsm/L)
- Same [Na+] as extracellular fluid compartment → minimal effect on intracellular volume/ minimal fluid shifts between compartments
- Vary on concentration of electrolytes (Na, Cl, K, Mg, Ca)
- Typically contain organic anions (lactate, gluconate, acetate)
Electrolytes and organic anions contribute to strong ion difference can impact pH following metabolism of organic ions (except gluconate → renal excreted unchanged)
- Up to 50% intravascular volume lost in 30 minutes in healthy individuals
Volume kinetics vary→ influenced by rate of infusion, patients physiology, degree dehydration, surgery, anesthesia
* AKI: increasing evidence to avoid NaCl
Examples: Plyte 148, Norm R, LRS, PLyte A
***0.9% saline is isotonic UNbalanced solution → better for patients with metabolic alkalosis (pyloric obstruction) → if normal Cl when given this, patients may develop hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
118
Balanced solutions
Balanced: considered balanced IF:
- Isotonic & iso-osmotic
- Maintains or normalizes acid-base balance through its strong ion difference
- Contains electrolytes similar in concentrations as patient’s plasma
Ex: plasmalyte 148, NOrmR & LRS
Indications: replenish ECF deficits & maintain ECF volume

Hypertonic fluids
Tonicity greater than the patient→ infusion increases osmolality of extracellular fluid → redistribution of water out of intracellular compartment into ECF compartment
Osmotic shifts occur immediately following administration
Repeated doses may lead to hemolysis and phelbitis if given in small peripheral veins
120
Hypertonic Saline
- 3-7.5% can be directly infused without dilution
- Osmolal Effects: increasing plasma osmolality & [Na+] & [Cl-]; endogenous release of vasopressin
- Cardiovasc effects (proven in humans): arteriolar vasodilation - decreased afterload, volume loading (increased preload), reduced endothelial swelling, weak + inotrope; coronary vasodilation
** Do not admin >1 ml/kg/min b/c may cause hypotension secondary to central vasomotor center inhibition or peripheral vasomotor effects mediated by acute hyperosmolarity (bradycardia and vasodilation
Improves CPP → increases MAP and decreases ICP
- Immunomodulatory effects: suppression of neut respiratory burst & cytotoxic effects → may be particularly beneficial in trauma patients
** Can expand ECF by 3-5x - but only for 30 min before redistributed to interstitium → combined with synth colloid (CCM)
**Prep of stock solution of combining 23.7% hypertonic NaCl with 6% hetastarch or other starch in 1:2 ratio and dosed at 3-5 ml/kg slowly IV for hypovolemia

Desmopressin Acetate
- Synthetic vasopressin analog available in IN and inj. form (oral form poor bioavail)
- Binds V2Rs --> more potent antidiuretic and procoag avail & less pressor
- dose dependent increase in plasma levels of fVIII & plasminogen
-
122
Digoxin
inhibit Na-K ATPase→ less Na pumped out of cell→ Na gradient altered making Na Ca exchanger function change→ less Ca pumped out increasing intracellular Ca
Positive inotrope
Fox glove, cardiac glycosides
123
Allopurinol
Inhibits xanthine oxidase
- renal side effects
Not recommend in vet med for ATLS
124
Clopidogrel
- Bloacks P2Y12 receptor on platelets
- For ATE
- loading dose to reach efficacy more quickly
- Requires P450 --> do not use with omeprazole!!
