fluid balance and IV therapy Flashcards
isotonic
same solute concentration
hypotonic
lower solute concentration
hypertonic
higher solute concentration
third spacing
sluid leaves the INTRAVASCULAR space but does not enter the INTRACELLULAR space
edema
Accumulation of INTERSTITIAL fluid within the bodys tissues
filtration
movement of fluid across cell membrane due to hydrostatic pressure
diffusion
movement of solutes from high to low concentrations
osmosis
movement of fluid from areas of more fluid to areas of less
hydrostatic
pumping of heart causes PUSHING of fluids out of capillaries
oncotic
non-diffusible plasma proteins cause PULLING of fluid from tissue to capillaries
ICF
fluid inside of the cells
ECF
fluid outside the cells
intravascular fluids
whole blood volume, found in vascular system
interstitial fluid
fluid in between the cells
interstitial fluid
fluid in between the cells
