Fluid compartments Flashcards
how much percent of our body is water
60%
how is water divided in ECF and ICF
ECF is 1/3
ICF is 2/3
the plasma is considered ECF or ICF
ECF
What is in the “third space” when there is excess fluid
water from epithelial secretions, synovial and CSF
what percent of ECF is plasma
1/4
how many liters are in the Arterial effective circulating volume
.7 liters
What is the effective circulating volume independent of
extracell volume, plasma volume and CO
What is Vd of a drug
the colume of body fluid in which the total dose is distributed at same concentration of plasma
if the Vd is 45
45 all body tissues, even bone and spinal fluid
how does daily total intake and output of fluid compare
in the end equal each other.
Compare Na, K, Ca, Mg and HCO3 and HPO4 in ICF vs ECF
ECF has higher Na and Cl and HCO3-
ICF has higher K, Mg and HPO4
How is the osmolarity in ECF vs ICF
the same osmolarity
where are there higher non-electrolyte protein levels
ICF, intravascular compartments
do the proteins change osmolarity? oncotic pressure?
changes oncotic pressure
does not change osmolarity because the large proteins are impermeable
majority of the non-electrolytes in the plasma are what 2 compounds
phospholipids and cholesterol
how do we measure total body water and plasma volume directly, clinically
dilution of injected radioactive substances or dyes
how is ICF fluid calculated
TBW-ECF
how is interstitial volume calculated
ECF- plasma volume
how can total blood volume be calculated
need to know plasma volume and Hct
TBV= plasma volume/1-Hct
how can you estimate plasma osmolality by [Na]
2X plasma [Na]
What is the donnan effect
Na K concentrations are higher in vascular spaces due to the negative charges of proteins
what besides [Na] is important in plasma osmolality
glucose/18 and urea/2.8
What keeps the Na concentration what it is
Na-K ATPase pump
what ion is the key regulater of intracellular osmolality
presence of K
fluid distribution between ECF and ICF depends on what
osmotic effects of Na and Cl
What is the capillary cell membrane between ECT and capillary permeable to
small ions
what is the fluid distribution dependent on between capillary and interstitial fluid
starling forces
What scenarios clinically result from fluid/solute loss
Bruns, Hemorrhage, vomiting/diarrhea, dehydration
what do you target during intravenous replacement fluids when oral rehydration is not suitable
target the volume-depleted comparment
what is in crystalloid fluids
contain varying concentrations of electrolytes and can stay in ECF or be widely distributed depending on composition
what are types of crystalloid fluids
normal saline, lactated Ringer’s solutions
what is in colloid fluids
large proteins and molecules that stay in vascular space
why do we give colloid fluids
to pull volume out of cells
a isosmotic solution means what
solutions that have the same osmolarity as the ECF
does not change osmolarity, increases volume only
a hyperosmotic solution means what
solutions have an osmolarity greater than that of the ECF
