Fluid and Blood Therapy Flashcards
Three roles of fluid in the body
- Transport
- Temperature Regulation
- Maintain Internal Environment
How does fluid in the body regulate temperature?
blood circulation to the skin and sweating increase heat dissipation, helping to keep the body at a constant temperature
Total body fluid of:
Newborn Toddler Child Adult man Adult woman Seniors
Newborn - 80%
Toddler - 70%
Child - 65%
Adult man - 60%
Adult woman - 55%
Seniors 50-55%
Of the body fluid, how much is intracellular fluid and how much is extracellular fluid?
intracellular - 2/3
extracellular - 1/3
Of the extracellular fluid, how much is interstitial fluid and how much is plasma?
interstitial fluid- 3/4 (75%)
plasma - 1/4 (25%)
How much fluid is in each compartment of a 100kg man?
100kg total weight
fluid = 60L
of the 60L how much is intracellular?
2/3 = 40L
extracellular fluid = 20L
interstitial fluid = 3/4 = 15L
plasma = 1/4 = 5L
To deliver 1L of LR to the plasma, how much should be administered?
LR = isotonic
will stay extracellular
LR = 3/4 into interstitial fluid
1/4 into the plasma
1L LR = 250mL stays in the plasma
4L of LR need to be administered to keep 1L in the plasma
Trans-membrane transport; 2 main categories
- passive
- active
What are the categories of passive transport?
(diffusion)
1. simple (no carrier)
ie. osmosis of water
- facilitated
What are the categories of active transport?
- carrier
a. primary
b. secondary - vesicular
a. endocytosis
b. exocytosis
What is an example of primary active transport?
Na/K pump
What is an example of secondary active transport?
Na/Ca pump
What is an example of facilitated diffusion?
glucose via gated / “seesaw” transport protein
What is an example of simple diffusion (via the paracellular route)?
K through a channel
What is an example of simple diffusion?
O2 through the cell membrane
What are the 4 starling forces?
- interstitial colloid oncotic pressure
- interstitial hydrostatic pressure
- plasma colloid oncotic pressure
- plasma hydrostatic pressure
Does the BBB have a high or low filtration coefficient?
low
What is osmolality?
of osmoles of solute in a kg of solvent
What is osmolarity?
of osmoles of solute in a liter of solution
Is Osmolality or osmolarity more accurate in the human body?
difference in both is minimal
What is osmosis?
simple diffusion of water
What is osmotic pressure
pressure needed to stop osmosis
- depends on the NUMBER of molecules, not size
what is P~ n/v
osmotic pressure
what is the equation for osmotic pressure?
P~ n/v
What is an osmole?
the osmosis caused by a mole
What is a millimole?
MOLECULAR weight in MILLIgrams
*in the body we deal with milliosmoles (mOsm)
What is a mole?
standard unit for measuring large quantities of very small atoms, molecules, or particles
aka avogadro’s number
*the number of atoms, molecules, or particles in a mole is the same for all substances
What is avogadro’s number?
a mole
6.022 x 10^23
What is the difference between ionizable and non-ionizable molecules?
Can they dissociate in a solute?
ie.
1 mole glucose → 1 mole
2 mole Cl2 → 4 moles
What measure/count does osmotic pressure depend upon?
the NUMBER of MOLECULES, not mass
What is the equation to calculate osmolality?
2 x Na^2 + (glucose / 18) + (BUN / 2.8)
What is a normal osmolality?
29 mOm /L
What are the units for osmolality?
mOm / L
What is tonicity?
the ability of the combined effect of all the solutes to generate an osmotic driving force that causes water movement
** only includes the effective osmoles
What is the plasma osmolality of hypertonic substances?
> 295 mOsm / L
What is the plasma osmolality of an isotonic solution?
275 - 295 mOsm / L
What is the plasma osmolality of a hypotonic solution?
< 275 mOsm / L
What is special about sodium?
- most abundant electrolyte in the ECF
- responsible for most of the osmotic activity of the ECF
- alterations of the ECF Na greatly affects the movement of water across the cell membrane
Is the concentration of Na higher or lower in the ECF or ICF?
ECF Na > ICF Na
d/t the Na/K pump
Serum Na is proportional to what?
TBNa / TBW
TBNa / TBW is proportional to what?
serum Na
what are 3 fluid disorders?
- isotonic fluid disorders
- hypotonic fluid disorders
- hypertonic fluid disorders
What are 2 isotonic fluid disorders?
- isotonic loss of fluid
2. isotonic gain of fluid
What are 3 hypotonic fluid disorders?
- hypertonic loss of Na
- gain of pure water
- hypotonic gain of Na
What are 4 hypertonic fluid disorders?
- hypotonic loss of Na
- loss of pure water
- hypertonic gain of Na
- hyperglycemia
What happens during an isotonic fluid disorder?
isotonic loss or gain of fluid → NO change in serum Na
No osmotic gradient = NO water shift across membranes
NO change in the ICF compartment
During an isotonic fluid disorder, does the ICF compartment change?
NO
What is one example of an isotonic loss of fluid?
hemorrhage
What is the direction change of the following during an isotonic loss of fluid?
