Total body water (TBW) definition
The summation of all the different forms of water in the body, approx 60% of body weight in males and 50% in females
Intracellular fluid definition
Summation of fluid that lies intracellularly in the body, composes 40% of total body weight or 2/3 of total body water
Extracellular fluid definition
Summation of fluid that lies extracellularly in the body, composes 20% of total body weight or 1/3 of total body water
Intravascular space definition
Summation of fluid that lies within the vessels as part of extracellular fluid and composes 25% of extra cellular fluid or 5% of total body weight
Interstitial space definition
Summation of fluid that lies within the body between cells as part of extracelluar fluid and compses 75% of extracellular flulid or 15% of body weight
Osmosis definition
Movement of water from low solute conc. to higher solute conc. passively to attain equilibirrum
Total body water is directly related to ___ and inversely related to ____. Infants, for example…
Lean body mass, fat content
…have higher percentage of body water because not as much fat
In pregnancy __% of total body water becomes ____
45-50, intravascular
In the case of Na+ retention in blood stream, we will see increased ___ follow
intravascular fluids
Arterial vs venous end of vessel filtration vs absorption state
At arterial end hydrostatic pressure is greater than plasma osmotic pressure (which is constant), resulting in net filtration, hydrostatic pressure progressively drops off eventually causing favor of absorption from plasma osmotic pressure on venous side
Osmolality definition
of milimose of solute particles per liter of solution, the greater the osmolallity the stronger urge water has to dilute the material
A healthy BUN is between ___ and ___. A healthy blood glucose is about ___. A healthy creatinine is between __ and ___.
10, 20. 100. .8-1.2
A very frequent cause of death in hospitalization is cerebral edema, this is when individuals vessels become ___tonic to the tissue surrounding them causing fluid buildup in the brain tissues
Hypo
Hypertonic by definition means ___solute compared to fluid, hypo means ____
more, less
Sensible water losses vs insensible water losses
Sensible losses are measurable and take the form of urine, include 1-2 L per day. Insensible loss is immeasurable and due to evaporative loss thru skin and respiratory tract and includes of to 600-900mL/day
3 factors that increase insensible losses
- add 10% for each degree of fever above 99 degrees
- increase with tracheostomies
- decrease with humidified ventilatory support
Daily sodium intake required, daily potassium intake required, why does hyperkalemia kill?
1 to 2 MEQ/kg/day
.5-1 MG/kg/day
Hyperkalemia causes arrhythmia and can stop a heart beat
Na+ HCO3-, and cl- are predominantly stored in ___cellular fluid, while K+, Mg2+, protein, and phosphates are stored in __cellullar fluid
Extra, intra
