Fluid and Blood Therapy Flashcards
TBW calculation
Total Body Water = 0.6% x Body Weight
TBW in L
TBW = 42 L (60%)
ECF = 1/3 or 14 L (20%)
ICF = 2/3 or 28 L (40%)
3 ECF Contents
Interstitial Fluid
Plasma
Transcellular Fluid
Interstitial Fluid
3/4 of ECF = 10.5 L or
15% body weight or
25% TBW
- During surgery, capillary permeability increases and more fluid escapes to the interstitium.
Plasma
1/4 of ECF = 3 L or
5% body weight or
9% TBW
(85% venous, 15% arterial)
Transcellular Fluid
0.5 L
Classic Fluid Compartments Visual
Daily Fluid Output
Urine 0.5 - 1.5 L
Sweat/Respiratory 0.8 - 1.2 L
Feces 0.2 L
Daily Fluid Intake
Fluids
Fluids in Food
Metabolic Fluids
NPO after midnight
Third Space
- nonfunctional space somewhere within the body that accumulates fluids that escape from the vasculature and the interstitium
- does it really exist??? if so, needs replacement!
- large volumes avoid renal failure
- may precipitate ARDS
- leads to abd compartment syndrome
- probably doesn’t exist, ERAS leans towards restricted fluid administration
Hypovolemia contributes to what two things?
- inadequate tissue perfusion
- post op complications
S/S of Hypovolemia
- tachycardia lacks sensitivity and specificity and is NOT a good indication of volume status
- hypotension means hypoperfusion has already occurred
Volume Responsive
- fluids should be given when patients require augmentation of perfusion and are volume responsive
- if BP and HR come up/down after fluid challenge, they are RESPONSIVE (frank-starling)
Hypervolemia: Weight Gain
>10% of preop weight = 32% mortality rate
<10% = 10% mortality rate
Pulmonary Edema
- occurs when volume infused is >67cc/kg/hr
- Healthy Volunteers - fasted - 40 ml/kg/hr LR over 3 hours
- decreased FEV1 and FVC for 8 hours
- median weight gain of 0.85 kg 24 hours after bolus
Bowel Manipulation
- results in a 5-10% increase in weight at the anastamosis
Tissue Edema leads to….
impaired wound healing 2/2 decreased oxygen tension
- so if everything is swollen and blood/oxygen cells can’t get through the edematous cell membranes it causes probs w wound healing
Ideal Body Weight
When we replace fluid we want to replace the intravascular volume, we don’t need to hydrate the fat cells.
Euvolemia
- maintains physiological homeostatis (HR, BP)
- replace preop defecits (NPO = 1.4 cc/kg/hr)
- replace maintenance fluids throughout surgery (basal rate = 100mL/hr)
- replace surgical losses (EBL)
Fluid Maintenance Calculation
4:2:1 Rule IBW
NPO losses and maintenance (4:2:1 rule)
4cc(10kg) + 2cc(10kg) + 1cc/kg(>20kg)
1st 10 kg gets 4cc/kg, 2nd 10kg gets 2cc/kg, all other gets 1cc/kg
