Fluid disorders Flashcards
What is the total body water for males, females, pediatrics, elderly males and elderly females
60%, 50%, 60%-70%, 50% and 45%
How is the total body water found in obese individuals
Decrease by 5% if they are 130% over ideal body weight
How is total body water spread out
1/3 extracellular fluid, 2/3 intracellular fluid
how is extracellular fluid spread out
3/4 interstitial fluid, 1/4 intravascular fluid
What is the extracellular cation
Na+
What is the intracelluar cation
K+
What is the plasma osmolality range
280-295
What does it mean if plasma osmolarity is high, low plasma osmolarity
high solute/low solvent (lack of water), low solute/high solvent (excess of water)
T/F: Osmolality is calculated, osmolarity is measured
False: osmolarity is calculated, osmolality is measured
what is the equation to calculate osmolarity
mOsm/LH2O= 2 x {Na+} + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
T/F: Na+/K+ pumps maintain concentrations
True
T/F: Water freely moves along gradient between membranes
True
Stimulants that cause the release of Arginine Vasopressin
high plasma osmolarity, nausea, pain/anxiety
Medications that stimulate relase of Arginine Vasopressin
carbamazepine, tricylic antidepressants,SSRIs,opiates
Symptoms of hypovolemia
weakness, lethargy tachycardia, thirst, low urine output, dry clammy skin/low skin turgor, flushed skin
