Fluid, Blood, Coagulation Flashcards
Describe the distribution of body water
60% of TBW = 42 L
60/40/20 (15/5)
40% = intracellular
20% = extracellular
15% = interstitial
5% = plasma
What populations tend to have a greater percentage of TBW by weight?
neonates have the most
women, elderly, obese have the least
What are the 2 most important determinants of fluid transfer between capillaries and interstitial space?
starling forces
glycocalyx
Net filtration pressure
(Pc - Pif) - (iic - iiif)
<0 = reabsorption
> 0 = filtration
What is the glycocalyx - what disrupts it?
forms a protective layer on the interior wall of the blood vessel. it has anticoagulant properties. it is the gatekeeper.
DM, sepsis, ischemia, vascular surgery all disrupt it
how is lymph returned to the systemic circulation?
via thoracic duct at the juncture of the IJ and subclavian vein
what is osmotic pressure and what is its primary determinant
the pressure of a solution against a semipermeable membrane that prevents water from diffusing across that membrane
-it is a function of the number of osmotically active particles in a solution. not a function of their molecular weights!
osmolarity vs osmolality
osmolarity = osmoles per liter
osmolality = osmoles per kg
reference for plasma osmolarity? and what are the 3 most important contributors
it is 280 - 290 mOsm/L
most important determinatns: sodium, glucose, BUN
Nax2 + Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
NaCl 0.45%
hypotonic @ 154
D5W
hypotonic @253
NaCl 0.9%
isotonic @ 308
LR
isotonic @ 273
plasmalyte
294
albumin 5%
300
nacl 3%
1026
d5 nacl 0.9% (0.45%)
560, 405
D5 LR
525
How do isotonic IV fluids distribute to the patient?
they expand plasma volume and ECF
remain intravascularly (crystalloids) for30 minutes before moving to the ECF
what is the fda black box for on synthetic colloids
risk of renal injury
coagulopathy risks with colloids
dextran > hetastarch > hextend
dont exceed 20 mL/kg
not a problem with voluven
colloid anaphylactic potential
dextran
albumin leads to what electrolyte abnormality
hypocalcemia
how does hyperkalemia affect the EKG?
5.5 - 6.5 = peaked T wave
6.5 - 7.5 = p wave flattening, PR prolong
7 - 8 = QRS prolonged
> 8.5 = sine wave, VF
discuss hypocalcemia s/s
nerve irritability - tetany
change in LOC = sz
long QT
hypercalcemia s/s
nausea, abdominal pain
HTN
psychosis, sz
short QT
treatment for hypercalcemia
0.9% NaCl
diuretic
Hypermagnesemia
DTR loss = 5.8 - 10 mEq/ 7 - 12 mg/dL
Resp. Depression = > 10 or > 12
Cardiac arrest > 10 or > 12
What is the treatment for hypermagnesemia
CaCl
Ca gluconate
Acidosis
hyperkalemia, increased ICP, increased SNS tone
Alkalosis
decreased coronary blood flow, decreased calcium and potassium
Anion gap
Na - Cl + HCO3
Normal = 8-12
Accumulation of acid = gap acidosis (>12)
Loss of bicarbonate or ECF dilution = non-gap acidosis
Possible causes of anion gap
MUDPILES
M-methanol
U-uremia
D- DKA
p- paraldehyde
I- isoniazid
L- lactate
E- ethanol
S- salicylates
Nongap acidosis
HARDUP
H-hypoaldosteronism
A-acetazolamide
R- renal tubular acidosis
D- diaarrhea
U-uretrosigmoid fistula
P-pancreatic fistula
LARGE VOLUME NACL CAN CAUSE THIS TOO
Etiology of metabolic alkalosis
-Sodium bicarb administration
-Massive transfusion (liver converts preservatives to HCO3)
-Loss of gastric fluid (NG, vomiting)
-Diuretics
-ECF depletion –> sodium reabsorption –> H+ and K+ excretion to maintain electroneutrality
-Cushings or hyperaldosteronism
What is the most common electrolyte d/o found
HYPOKALEMIA
Major intracellulaar ions
Potassium, magnesium, and phosphate
