Exam 1 Flashcards
IBW (males)
50kg + (2.3 x in>60)
IBW (women)
45kgs + (2.3 x in>60)
Normal body weight (NBW)
IBW + 0.25(TBW - IBW)
ADH changes
Decrease diuresis
Increase H2O retention
RAAS changes
Increase renin secretion
Na / H2O regulation
ANP
Decrease ADH release
Counteract RAAS
Isotonic range
275-290 mOsm/L
Hypotonic range
< 275 mOsm/L
Fluid moves into cell and increases volume
Hypertonic range
> 290 mOsm/L
Fluid pulled into blood out of cells
Osmolarity calculation
IV solution osm + electrolyte osm added
Convert electrolyte osm mEq -> mOsm
Hypertonic solutions
> 600 mOsm/L
Administered in small volumes < 500mL via central line
Clinical estimate MIVF
30-40 mg/kg/day
100-150 mL/h = normal rate
Ideal fluid properties
Predictable effects
No AEs
Sustained increased IV volume
No tissue accumulation
Cost effective
Stable when stored
Readily available
Easy to administer
Crystalloids
Normal saline (NS)
1/2 Normal solution (NS)
Dextrose 5% (D5W)
Lactated ringers (LR)
Balanced salt solutions
Colloids
Albumin
Hetastarch
Tetrastarch
Blood
Plasmate
Normal saline (NS)
0.9% NaCl
Used for IV replacement
NOT a maintenance fluid
1/2 Normal saline (1/2 NS)
0.45% NaCl
Used for maintenance as a combo
Lactated ringers (LR)
Used to replace blood loss
Approximated human plasma
Dextrose 5% (D5W)
Used for free H2O replacement
No Na or Cl
NOT resuscitative fluid
NOT used for MIVF by itself
Balanced salt solutions
Crystalloids with physiological levels of Cl and buffer solutions
Ex. LR, normosol-R, plasma-lyte
NaCl composition
154 mEq/L of Na and Cl each
Colloid use in therapy
Plasma expanders
Increase MW and half-life
Increase plasma oncotic pressure
Albumin
Indications:
Volume expansion, shock, burn, ARDS
AEs:
Hypervolemia, azotemia
Use 5% to increase volume
Use 25% to increase protein
Starches (synthetic colloids)
High association with bleeding
Longer half-life -> more side effects and toxicities
Not commonly used
Blood / packed RBCs
Used for acute blood loss or if low Hb
Hb < 7 def use, Hb < 8 can use
1 unit RBC increases Hb 1g/dL
Most common MIVF
D5W + 1/2 NS + 20mEq KCl / L
Used to increase plasma oncotic pressure
Signs of dehydration
Look dry on physical and cellular levels
Tachycardia and hypotension
BUN / SCr > 20
Na normal range
135-145 mEq/L
Hyponatremia
Osmolality 275-290 mOsm/L
Osmolality calculations
(2 x Na) + (BUN / 2.8) + (Glucose / 18)
Psuedohyponatremia
Na appears low but is actually displaced
Hypertonic hyponatremia
> 290 mOsm/L
Hypotonic hyponatremia
< 275 mOsm/L
Hypovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia
↓TBW
↓↓Na
Tx:
3% NaCl if symptoms
0.9% NaCl if asymptomatic
Isovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia
↑TBW
= Na
Tx:
Furosemide and judicious 3% NaCl if symptoms
Furosemide if asymptomatic
Acute hyponatremia
< 48 hrs
Brain swells -> cerebral edema -> death
Tx:
↑ Serum Na 1-2 mEq/L/hr until sx resolve
Max 8-12 mEq/L in first 24 hrs
Chronic hyponatremia
≥ 48 hrs
Minimal brain swell
Mild neurological sx
Rule of 8’s
Replace 1/2 of Na in first 8 hrs
Replace remaining within 8-16 hrs
Hypernatremia
> 145 mEq/L
Associated with hypertonicity
Impaired thirst response
Hypovolemic hypernatremia
↓H2O
↓↓TBW
↓Na
Associated with renal and GI disease
