Define a colloid
a fluid with heterogeneity, multiphasic constituents and insoluble particles in solution.
A fluid containing particles unable to pass through physiological semipermeable membranes
Colloid characteristics
- Scatter light
- Susended in solvent without precipitating and separating
- Subject to Brownian movement
- All have the same charge keeping them separated by electrostatic propulsion
Pharmaceutics of an ideal colloid
◦ No special storage requirements
◦ No need for crossmatching, or interference with crossmatching
◦ Long shelf life
◦ Not susceptible to biological contamination (eg. by acting as a substrate for microbial growth, or by allowing donor-recipient viral transmission)
◦ Cheap and readily available
◦ Acceptable to all patients (i.e. no cultural objections)
Pharmacokinetics of an ideal colloid
◦ No special limitations on volume that can be infused
◦ Low viscosity
◦ Distributed to intravascular compartment only
◦ Cleared completely and without reliance on organ function
◦ No toxic metabolites or accumulation
Pharmacodynamics of an ideal colloid
◦ High oncotic effect
◦ No interference with organ function (including red cell function)
◦ Non-pyrogenic, non-allergenic & non-antigenic
◦ No interference with haemostasis, coagulation, or acid-base balance
Why theoretically are colloids good fluids for resuscitation?
- The mechanisms which drive this distribution include:
◦ Oncotic pressure of the colloidal particles
◦ Gibbs-Donnan effects of the charge of the colloidal particles (for example, the negatively charged albumin attracts additional osmotically active sodium into the intravascular space) - A minor volume expanding effect is also attributable to the volume of the dispersed molecules themselves, which is non-trivial for large molecules. For example, the volume of normal plasma consists of 7-8% colloid.
- Ergo, if the goal is to increase the circulating volume, fluid solutions containing substances with a large molecular weight should be more efficient, in terms of intravascular volume increase per volume of infused fluid
Classify colloids
- Synthetic colloids
◦ Polyvinylpyrrolidone - Semi-synthetic colloids
◦ Gelatins (eg. gelofusine, polygeline, )
◦ Dextrans (they are all called “dextran X”, where X is the molecular mass in kDa)

Describe the autonomic effects of losing 1000mls of blood
- Arterial hypotension causes baroreflex activation + low pressure volume receptors of the right atrium and great veins + if severe (with reduced cardiac output/fall in pH) may also induce chemoreceptor activation peripherally accentuating the response
- Both reflexes result in autonomic phenomena:
◦ Decreased vagal stimulus; thus increased heart rate
◦ Sympathetic activation both directly and indirectly through systemic catecholamine release from adrenal glands, which has multiple effects:
‣ Increased peripheral vascular resistance - increased blood pressure
‣ Redistribution of blood flow away from the cutaneous, skin and splanchnic circulation - reduced renal and gut blood flow
‣ Precapillary constriction and reduced blood flow —> reduced hydrostatic pressure in downstream capillaries as net reabsorption leading to autotransfusion
‣ Venoconstriction mobilising venous reservoir - increased venous return
‣ Stimulation of vasopressin release via the projections from the nucleus of the solitary tract to the hypothalamus
‣ Stimulation of renin release by sympathetic stimulation of the juxtaglomerular cells, and due to lower renal perfusion - Net effect
◦ Reduced SBP and DBP
◦ Reduced pulse pressure
◦ Tachycardia - Increased inotropy
- Increased PVR with vasoconstriction
◦ Cardiac output will be intitially reduced but with compensation will improve towards normal
Maximal response within 30 seconds
Describe the neurohormonal effects of losing 1000mls of blood
- Renin secretion causes:
◦ Vasoconstriction (by angiotensin)
◦ Increased sodium retention (by aldosterone) leading to increased reabsorption of water
◦ Increased thirst - Vasopressin release causes:
◦ Vasoconstriction (by V1 receptors), augments noradrenaline mediated arteriolar vasoconstriction
◦ Increased water retention (by V2 receptors) - Venous hypotension decreases atrial natriuretic peptide secretion, which causes:
◦ Decreased renal blood flow
◦ Decreased urinary water and sodium excretion - Catecholamines - see above
- The net effect is decreased urine output and increased retention of sodium and water
What impact does >20% loss of blood have
Compensatory mechanisms overwhelmed resulting in reduced BP and tissue perfusion with anaerobic metabolism and lactic acidosis. Decreased catecholamine sensitivity
Medium to longer term response to blood loss
- Erythropoerisis is stimulated by EPO release from the kidney stimulated by decreased oxygen delivery leading to increased RBC production - happens within the first 24 hours but takes 4-8 weeks to fully restore circualting RBC voluem
- Albumin synthesis is stimulated in the liver and restores circulating protein levels to normal within a few days
- Plasma volume returns to normal within 12-72 hours
Describe the classes of hypovolaemic shock
During the infusion of 1L of NaCl as a bolus what initiailly occurs?
- Volume effect is greater during the infusion (prior to redistribution)
- During this time, the blood volume may be expanded by 50-70% of the infused volume
- This increases stroke volume by increasing preload causing an increase in cardiac output (frank Starling relationship) and blood pressure due to initially normal SVR, and therefore stimulates cardiovascular reflexes
What reflex action is taken during the bolus of 1L of 0.9% saline
◦ Initially, a short-lived increase in heart rate (Bainbridge reflex, atrial stretch)
◦ Followed by a decrease in heart rate (baroreceptors - aortic arch/carotid sinus) - stimulated by increased pressure/stretch –> decreased outflow to vasomotor centres –> reduced SNS outflow
◦ Decrease in SVRI (baroreceptors)
◦ Decreased secretion of renin by renal juxtaglomerualr cells as increased Na delivery to macula densa, with subsequent decreases in angiotensin and aldosterone - reduced vasoconstriction and reduced afterload, dropping BP and aldosterone reducing sodium reabsorption
◦ Tubuloglomerular feedback activation: increased salt delivery to the nephron results in decreased glomerular blood flow, which decreases salt delivery (i.e. this is a negative feedback mechanism)
◦ Natriuretic peptide release increases due to atrial stretch
◦ Brief period of pressure diuresis possible, and a brief drop in circulating ADH while plasma volume expansion >10% before returning to normal with redistribution - affected by RAAS also
What is tubuloglomerular feedback and how does it play into administration of saline fluid
◦ Tubuloglomerular feedback activation: increased salt delivery to the nephron results in decreased glomerular blood flow, which decreases salt delivery (i.e. this is a negative feedback mechanism)
How long does redistribution of a 1L fluid bolus of saline take?
- Redistribution begins immediately, and is complete within 25-30 minutes
Distribution
* VOD=0.2L/kg, basically confined to the extracellular fluid
* (thus: 25% remains intravascular, 75% becomes interstitial)
Describe the changes in electrolytes and osmolality after a 1L bolus of saline
Changes in electrolytes and osmolality
* Change in osmolality: minimal (<1%) ; unnoticed by osmoreceptors (saline is isotonic)
* Change in plasma oncotic pressure: Dilution of plasma proteins increases the fraction of filtered water at the glomerulus, increasing the urine output (i.e. excretion of both water and sodium)
* Change in biochemistry:
◦ trivial sodium elevation (~0.5-.0 mmol/L)
◦ nontrivial chloride elevation (up to 3 mmol/L)
◦ decrease in bicarbonate and base excess (also up to 3 mmol/L)
◦ Metabolic acidosis (this fluid has SID = 0)
Describe how glomerular tubular balance plays into the response to a fluid bolus
Increased free water excretion due to
◦ Decreased peritubular capillary oncotic pressure causing
◦ Reduced water reabsorption from proximal tubule
◦ Therefore the degree to which plasma is concentrated by increased filtration or dilution of plasma proteins before reaching the kidney determines reabsorptino
What is the osmolality of a 3% saline bag
- 900mosm/kg –> 3x that of plasma
- Na remains in ECF, water will distribute according to osmolality, Cl remains in ECF
What effect does 1L of 3% saline have on body fluid balance
70kg person with TBW of 42L. ICF is 23L and ECF 19L with osmolality 290mosm/kg
Before infusion
* Total body solute content = 42L x 290 = 12 180 mosm
* ECF solute content - 19 x 290 = 5510
* ICF solute content = 23 x 290 = 6670 mosm
After infusion
* 43L of total body water
* ECF solute content = 5510 + 900 = 13 080
* ICF solute content = 6670 (unchanged)
Therefore osmolality = 13080/42 = 304 mosm/kg
ECF volume 21.1 L and ICF volume 21.9L
* Decreased ICF volume
* Interstitial volume expansion insufficient to cause oedema, interfere with gas transfer or nutrient or waste transfer
- ECF increased by 2.1L with 1/4 or so intravascular 500mls.
◦ Blood volume increased by 10% –> 7-10% is the trigger for volume receptors –> ANP
‣ ANP promotes sodium excretion at the kidney and inhibits renin secretion
‣ Decreased renin stimulation (high Na content delivery to DCT)
* Aldosterone inhibition - reduced Na reabsorption
* Decreased angiotensin - reduced Na reabsorption, increased GFR
◦ This will also lower the sensitivity of the volume receptors and will inhibit ADH secretion
◦ Volume receptors more powerful than osmoreceptor response - Plasma osmolality increased by 4.8% –> triggers osmoreceptors ++ and ADH secretions increases to retain water and driving thirst
◦ This will slow down the rate of excretion of excess water

What effect would 1L of oral water ingestion have on osmaolity
Osmolality decreases
* For one litre of pure water, this would be a 2.5% decrease in osmolality (40L of fluid diluted by 1L)
◦ Osmolality drop from 280 to 273
* This is sensed by the osmosensitive circumventricular organs (OVLT); even 1% would be enough
◦ Organum vasculosum of lamina terminalis
* Afferent –> fibres from osmoreceptors decrease vasopressin release in posterior pituitary –> reducing V2 receptor stimulation and reduced apical expression of aquaporin in the collecting duct of nephrons reducing water reabsorption and promoting diuresis

Blood volume increases (very slightly)
* For one litre of pure water, this would be a 80ml increase in volume, or about 1.6%
* This change is below the sensitivity threshold of the cardiovascular regulatory reflexes, and should not lead to any change in blood pressure for a normal healthy person
Losing 1L of body fluid to dehydration results in what change in fluid compartments? In osmoallity? Volume? Baroreceptor response?
Losing 1L is the loss of 1.4% of total body weight for a 70kg patient
* The loss fo water from any one compartment rapidly is corrected by inflow of water from another compartment.
◦ 80mls lost from intravascular space
◦ 250ml lost from interstitial fluid
◦ 670ml from intracellular fluid
* Osmolality change 2.5%, and 1.6% change in volume
◦ Sufficient to trigger the osmoreceptor but not he baroreceptors –> ADH release
* Electrolyte changes
◦ Na rise from 140 –> 143
* No baroreceptor response as 2% change insufficient
* Glomerulotubular balance - Intravascular protein concentration increases reabsorption of fluid from the proximal tubule retaining water
At extremes of dehydration what response is seen?
- Dehydration results in haemoconcentration, and haemoconcentration predictably leads to increased blood viscosity, though the relationship is unpredictably non-linear - whole blood viscocity increases markedly more than linearly would be predicted from haemoconcentration and plasma viscocity increases
- Heart has to work harder due to decreased circulatory volume in exercise + having to perfuse the areas it would shut down (skin/muscle) in haemoarrhage i.e. uncompensate hypovolaemia
Describe the physiology of intracellular fluid at baseline? % of body mass? L in a 70kg man? % of total body water?
- Intracellular Fluid = 33% of total body mass ( 23.1 litres) ; this volume is regulated by the movement of free water.
◦ 55% of total body water
◦ 70% of intracellular contents is water, and viscocity is very near water but diffusion through this compartment takes 4x longer
Extracellular compartment at baseline is what % of body mass? % of body water>. L in a 70kg man? Regulated by?
- Extracellular Fluid = 27% (18.9 litres); this volume is regulated by the movement of sodium. and 45% of total body water
Extracellular fluid is made up of what subcompartments of fluid?
◦ Plasma volume (2.8L) (1/4 of ECF/ 7.5% of total fluid)
‣ Red cells 2.5% of body mass, 4.5% of total fluid (nearly 2L) BUT inside cells
‣ Blood volume is 12% of total fluid or 7% of body mass
◦ Interstitial and lymph fluid
‣ 12% of body mass, 20% of total fluid 8.4L
◦ Dense connective tissue and bone
‣ 15% of total body fluid, 9% of total mass however slow to mobilise and dose not participate in infusion physiology. The rest is functional ECF
◦ Adipose tissue

What is transcellular fluid and what % of body fluid does it contribute
- Transcellular fluid: ~1.5% of body mass or 2.5% of total body fluid (1050ml); fluid formed by the secretory activity of cells,
What 3 factors trigger humeral responses to fluid administration
- to the increase in renal perfusion
◦ Renin, angiotensin and aldosterone secretion is depressed
◦ As the result, the reabsorption of sodium and water in the distal nephron is decreased - to the change in atrial stretch
◦ Natriuretic peptide release increases, as atrial stretch stimulates their release, which in turn stimulates natriuresis and diuresis - to the change in osmolality
◦ The change in osmolality is sensed by the hypothalamus
◦ Vasopressin secretion from the posterior pituitary is then altered to produce the desired change in the urine concentrating function of the distal nephron
What non humeral reflexes are present that are affected by infusion of fluids
- Atrial stretch receptors sense the increase in venous pressure, and briefly increase the heart rate (Bainbridge reflex) - when the patient is hypovolaemic baroreceptor reflex overrides this, seen more with euvolaemia
- Baroreceptors sense the increase in arterial pressure generated by the increase in stroke volume, and decrease the heart rate and the systemic vascular resistance, thereby renormalising the blood pressure
What is contained within 500ml of 20% mannitol
500ml of 20% mannitol –> 100g of mannitol. 1100mmol/L. Mannitol distributed evenly into extracellualr fluid but not mechanism of entry into cells.
What effect does mannitol have on osmotic pressure and fluid distributiuon when 500ml is infused?
◦ Intracellular dehydration, including brain parenchyma
◦ Rheological effects of mannitol infusion - improved RBC deformability due to shrinkage –. decreased blood viscocity improving microvascular perfusion
◦ Extracellular volume expansion - redistribution completely equally between interstitial and intravascular (same conc) –> 1100mmol in 14L ECF leads to big rise in osmolality 25mmol/L causing redistribution of fluid –>
‣ IV increase by 360mls –> 7% blood volume increase –> minimal baroreceptor response
‣ interstitial 1L, and
‣ drop in intracellular by 930mls –> 10-12% drop in intracranial pressure in mammals, 30% with hypocapnoea within 5-15 minutes and over 2-3 hours returns to baseline (hyeprtonic saline lasts 130 minutes)
What electrolyte effects are induced by 500ml fo 20% mannitol being given?
◦ Hyperosmolar hyponatremia
‣ Triggers osmoreceptors –> increased ADH but less effective due to mannitol osmotic effect in tubules (effect diuresis). More water is lost than Na
‣ Increase in free water intravascularly drops Na from 140 to 127mmolL –> as mannitol is excreted though this improves
◦ Hyperkalemia - combination fo solute drag with fluid moving out of cells but also intracellular dehydration increasing K concentraiton favouring movement out
What are the electrolyte and osmolar contents of 1 unit of pRBC
Due to ranging volumes, haematocrit, and duration of storage effects the effect is uncertain. Let us assume 250mls is given of which its haematocrit is 60%. Therefore 150mls of cells, 100mls of fluid. 100ml of water has an osmolality of 340mosm/L so giving 100ml you get 34mmol of electrolytes
* Na 15mmol remaining ECF
* K 2mmol - note this is just the free extracellualr K, the cells containg 150mmol/L (i.e. 15mmol)
* Cl 15mmol ECF
* HCO3 1mmol ECF
* Lactate 1 mmol metabolised by the liver
What happens to the fluid of 1 unit of pRBC
Redistribution
* Over 15 minutes
* ECF now has a slight bump in osmolality causing some minor redistribution from intracaellular fluid
◦ 26ml of water remains intravascular + 150ml of cells
◦ Interstitum has 79mls extra
◦ Intracellular -6mls
* Haematocrit change - if haematocrit started at 0.3 then this was 1500ml of 5000 –> increased by 150mls so 6% increase (when measured it is more likely 2% increase)
* Hb rises by 10g/L
What is the osmolality, baroreceptors ad electrolyte outcome of 1 unit of PRBC
Response
* Osmolality reamins constant as essentially isoosomolar
* Baroreceptors - intravascular volume increases by 176mls from 5000 to 5176 a 3.5% change
* Electrolytes
◦ Largely stable
◦ Citrate chelates 1mmol of Ca per pRBC and as 31mmol in ECF
