Fluid And Electrolyte Flashcards
Intracellular fluid
Fluid within the cells
Extracellular fluid
Vascular volume
Interstitial fluid
Between the vascular system and the actual cells
What part of the brain monitors blood osmolality?
Hypothalamus
What happens to osmolality as thirst is stimulated
Osmolality increases
When thirst increased BP…?
BP decreases
Blood osmolality
Blood concentration
Obligatory urine output
Minimum amount of irons needed to ride the body of waste products: 400-600 mL/day or 30 mL/hr
Order of fluid compartments
ICC
ISF
ECF
Osmotic pressure
Force that pulls water into the bloodstream from intracellular fluid to interstitial fluid (opposed hydrostatic pressure)
Hydrostatic pressure
Pushing force from the capillaries to the ISF bad ICF
Tonicity
Amount of solutes in a solution compared to in the bloodstream
Isotonic
Same tonicity as the cell (0.9% NaCl)
Use to increase BP
Hypotonic
Less tonicity causing cell swelling (0.45% NaCl)
Hypertonic
Greater tonicity than the cell and cells shrink (3 % NaCl)
Fluid volume deficit
Inadequate intake
ascites
Fluid within the abdomen
Fluid volume deficit Signs & symptoms
A cute weight loss Thirst Decrease urine out four Increased specific gravity Low BP (hypotension) Darker Uribe Decreased vascular volume Tachycardia Babies: sunken eyes, depressed dont aloe, dry mucous, inc. body temp. Poor skin turbot
Fluid volume excess signs and symptoms
Acute weight gains increased ECF
Edema occurs because exceeds fluid in ISF and ICF
Edema
Increased capillary pressure because of increased vascular volume
What does albumin do?
Albumin pulls the fluid into the blood stream from ISF and ICF
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Acts at the nephron—-helps absorbs water back into bloodstream—-dilutes blood——
(Holds onto fluid which increased blood fluid volume which increase BP, which decrease blood concentration)
Diabetes Insipidus
Patients have urinary incompetence causing dehydration
Oliguria
Low production of urine <400
Orthostatic hypotension
A person is standing or sitting and their BP drops 20 mm ahh within 3 mins because of dehydration
