FLUID DISTRIBUTION AND EDEMA Flashcards
intracellular fluids
- 2/3 is water
whole vascular volume
- 5L
- 3L is plasma
- 40% RBC
total body weight
- 60% (60L) men
- 50% women more adipose tissue 5% breast
TBW
- 60L
40% intracellular fluid
20% extracellular fluid 2/3 is interstitial (in bet.cells)
ICF vs ECF
- fluid goes from ICF(6) to ECF(12) due to greater concentration
osmotic pressure/ osmolar pressure
- lift draw of water to the area of higher concentration
- balancing out electrical forces
hydrostatic pressure
- arteriolar
electrical pressure
- K+ and Na+ cation ions repel each other
2x Na concentration
- index for EXTRACELLULAR OSMOLARITY
ECF osmolarity INCREASES
- cell SHRINK
- sodium concentration with in the cell is INCREASING
- HYPEROSMOLAR
ECF osmolarity DECREASES
- cell SWELL
- cells becomes dehydrated
STEADY STATE SITUATION
- intracellular=extracellular concentration of water
osmolar pressure
- is the SODIUM
WATER PUT ON A BLOOD
- cells swell and burst patient dies
- D5W is used to prevent this
ICF
2/3 TBW
ECF
1/3 interstitial
TBW men
60L
TBW women
50L
blood minus cell
- plasma
serum
- clotting factors removed(post clotted blood)
plasma
- has the clotting factors
- physiologic
volume
- widening convergence and expansion
concentration
- vertical increase(hyperosmolar) and decrease(hypo osmolar)
loss of isotonic fluid (hemorrhage loss of intracellular fluid as RBC volume not changing concentration), isotonic urine, diarrhea or vomiting
- losing only plasma
- extracellular fluid loss
- volume
- no movement of fluids in either direction because ICF and ECF has the same 300 mosm concentration
- DECREASE ECF VOLUME
- NO CHANGE IN BODY OSMOLARITY AND ICF VOLUME
loss of hypotonic fluid sweating, hypotonic urine, diabetes insipidus, dehydration, ALCOHOLISM (nephrogenic DI) inhibit ADH loss of free water
- salt retention increase osmolality ECF
- increasing concentration decreasing volume
- effect on ICF fluid move out of the cells to compensate hence ICF volume is decreasing
- DECREASE IN ECF AND ICF VOLUME
- INCREASE IN BODY OSMOLARITY
salt tablets
- increase osmolality
- dehydrate the cells
- ECF concentration will increase
tap water or distilled water has the lowest sodium content, IVF
- ECF osmolality decreases
- ICF concentration decrease
