Final- Perioperative Fluid Therapy (7/25/23) 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)
What are the two main compartments fluid compartments?
- Intracellular Fluid (ICF) makes up two-thirds of total body water
- Extracellular Fluid (ECF) makes up one-third of total body water
What are the different compartments of the ECF?
- Interstitial: lymphatics and protein-poor fluid around the cell.
- Intravascular: plasma volume
- Transcellular: GI Tract, Urin, CSF, Joint fluid, aqueous humor.
What is diffusion?
- Solute particles moving or filling solvent volume
- High to Low concentration
- Speed is proportional to the distance square
- Can occur across permeable membranes
- Can relate to electrical gradients
What are examples of the type of solutes that are in our body?
- Glucose
- Protein (Albumin)
- Electrolytes
What is the primary extracellular cation?
- Sodium (Na+)
What is the primary intracellular cation?
- Potassium (K+)
What is osmosis?
- Semipermeable membrane that separates pure water from water with solute.
- Osmosis is just the movement of WATER
- Diffuses from low to high solute concentration
What is osmotic pressure?
- Pressure that resists the movement of water through osmosis
What is osmotic pressure affected by?
- Temperature
- Number of Molecules
- Volume
PV = nRT
What is osmolarity?
- Number of osmotically active particles per L of solvent
- Higher osmolarity, higher “pulling power”
Patient A has serum glucose of 600mg/dl
Patient B has serum glucose of 250mg/dl
Who has higher osmolarity?
- Patient A
What is osmolality?
- Number of osmotically active particles per Kg of solvent
What is normal osmolality?
- 280-290 mOsm
What is oncotic pressure?
- The component of total osmotic pressure due to colloids
List examples of colloids
- Albumin
- Globulins
- Fibrinogen
What percentage of oncotic pressure is due to albumin?
- 65-75%
What makes up our daily intake?
- Solids (750 mL)
- Liquids (1400 mL)
- Metabolism (350 mL)
What makes up our daily output?
- Insensible Loss (1000 mL)
- GI loss (100 mL)
- Urine output (0.5-1 mL/kg/hr)
Urine secretion accounts for ____-% of daily water loss.
- 60%
What hormones regulate urine output?
- ADH
- ANP
- Aldosterone
How does ADH regulate urine output?
- Renal H2O excretion in response to plasma tonicity
How does ANP regulate urine output?
- ANP is activated by ↑ fluid volume
- ↑ Atrial Stretch = ↑ Renal Excretion
How does Aldosterone regulate urine output?
- Regulates sodium and potassium levels
- Aldosterone is released if sodium and fluid volume decreases, causing sodium and water conservation.
