Fluid/ Electrolytes Flashcards
signs hypernatremia
disorientation
signs hyperkalemia
U-waves on ECG, n/v, heart palpitations, abdominal pain, musc weakness or numbness
signs hypocalcemia
Tetany (intermittent musc. spasms)
signs hypermagnesemia
depressed deep tendon reflex
sign fluid overload
weight gain, hypertension, edema, jugular vein distension, crackles lungs,
signs fluid deficit
thirst, inelastic skin turgor, hypotension, oliguria
water v adipose tissue ratio
mre fat= less water
ecf
v intracellular
separated by cell membrane
extracellular cf- outside cells (intravasc- arteries, veins and cap/ plasma) (interstitial- area around cells incl NaCl and H2))
intracellular- within cells 2/3 body water
capillary mem
sep extracellular intravascular space and intersitial space
semiperm mem
passive transport incl
osmosis diffusion filtration
osmosis
mvmnt fluid across semiperm mem
low solute to high solute conc
diffusion
mvmnt ions/ mol across semiperm mem
filtration
water and solutes mve to area lower hydrostatic pressure
osmolality
measure # particles diss in a solution
norm 275-295
effects tonicity (whether water move or stay)
hyperosmolality
> 295
hypo-osmolality
<275
osmotic p
p needed prevent osmosis through mem
btw solution and solvent
ex. isotonic
hypotonic sol
lwr osmotic p than blood
shift fluid into cells
hypertonic sol
higher osmotic p than blood
shift fluid out of cells
RAAS
blood vol dec=dec renal perfusion
syn renin
renin combines w/ angiotensinogen to for ag1
converted to ag2
stim adrenal cortex release aldosterone
inc kidney reabsorb Na
water flows back to ECF (water follows salt)
ADH
secreted by posterior pit. gland
in response to inc osmolality
sensed in hypothal by osmo recep
inc water reabsorb
atrial natriuretic peptide
released when heart atriums stretched= hypertension
dec fluid retention via blocking secretion of aldosterone and inhib renin
hypovolemia and causes
diminished blood vol
fluid loss, vomiting, diarrh, fever, lack fluid intake, burns, pancreatitis
hypovolemia symptoms
hypotension, tachycardia, thirst, poor skin turgor, dry muc mem dec urine output, shock
hypovolemia treat
isotonic sol
antidiarr/antiemetic
hypervolemia and causes
fluid excess in intravasc space
inc na and water retention
fluid shift from intracellular to extracellular
heart/ renal failure
edema
fluid excess in interstitial space
