Final- Perioperative Fluid Therapy Flashcards
What percentage of total body weight is water?
- 60%
- Elderly and Obese patients will have lower percent of water in the body.
- Pediatrics will have HIGHER percent of water in the body (Table 47.1)
S2
what perecent of water is in adipose tissue?
low percentage in adipose tissue
S2
What are the two main fluid compartments?
- Intracellular Fluid (ICF) makes up two-thirds of total body water
- Extracellular Fluid (ECF) makes up one-third of total body water
S2
What are the different compartments of the ECF?
- Interstitial: lymphatics and protein-poor fluid around the cell.
- Intravascular: plasma volume
- Transcellular: GI Tract, Urine, CSF, Joint fluid, aqueous humor.
S2
List the different ways of fluid/electrolye movement
- Diffusion
- Osmosis
- Osmolarity
- Osmolality
- Oncotic pressure
S3-7
What is diffusion?
- Solute particles moving or filling solvent volume
- High to Low concentration
- Speed is proportional to the distance squared
- Can occur across permeable membranes
- Can relate to electrical gradients
S3
What are examples of the type of solutes that are in our body?
- Glucose
- Protein (Albumin)
- Electrolytes
S3
What is the primary extracellular cation?
- Sodium (Na+)
S3
What is the primary intracellular cation?
- Potassium (K+)
S3
What is osmosis?
- A semipermeable membrane that separates pure water from water with dissolved solute.
- Osmosis is just the movement of WATER
- Diffuses from low to high solute concentration
S4
What is osmotic pressure?
- Pressure that resists the movement of water through osmosis
S4
- What is osmotic pressure affected by?
- Temperature
- Number of Molecules
- Volume
S4
What is the equation for osmotic pressure?
P = nRT/V
* V=volume
* N= number
* T=temperture
S4
What is osmolarity?
- Number of osmotically active particles per L of solvent
- Higher osmolarity, higher “pulling power”
S5
Patient A has serum glucose of 600mg/dl
Patient B has serum glucose of 250mg/dl
Who has higher osmolarity?
- Patient A
Pt with glucose of 600 has more particles
S5
What is osmolality?
- Number of osmotically active particles per Kg of solvent
S6
What is normal osmolality?
- 280-290 mOsm
S6
What is oncotic pressure?
- The component of total osmotic pressure due to colloids
S7
List examples of colloids
- Albumin
- Globulins
- Fibrinogen
S7
What percentage of oncotic pressure is due to albumin?
- 65-75%
S7
What makes up our daily fluid intake?
- Solids (750 mL)
- Liquids (1400 mL)
- Metabolism (350 mL)
S8
What makes up our daily fluid output?
- Insensible Loss (1000 mL)
- GI loss (100 mL)
- Urine output (0.5-1 mL/kg/hr)
S8
How do we regulate intake and output of fluid?
- We are responsible for:
- intake: oral fluids & food
- Output: urinary secretion
S9
Urine secretion accounts for ____-% of daily water loss.
- 60%
